Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
One minor problem I found is that on Linux the graphics quality doesn't persist, it reverts to 'good' on every game restart so I have to manually change it to my preferred 'fantastic'.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
It will take a long time - IF EVER - to complete the game, and you will not become so accustomed to the gameplay that it becomes easy, as with so many other puzzlers, so there is plenty of replay value.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Not much is to be said about it: Though the ending is of the utmost simplicity and politeness, I saw it as a great lesson of humbleness, because after journeying 12 hours through the many worlds of English Country Tune, it was hard not to grow attached to that turning and twisting blue tile.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The soundtrack provides a counterpoint to this, offering a calm and melodic background that softens the intensity of the mental challenges and helps maintain a steady pace.
