That said, even with some visual jank and stutter, I never once had a crash in 40 hours of pretty determined gameplay.

Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
It's not bad, it's a fun little game, and the graphics are cute, and the characters are interesting enough.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
8/10 Music - The soundtrack is very good, but there are some moments where I feel the music was too hyped-up for what was actually going on so I had a little bit of dissonance there.

Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
There are some interesting loops and synergies, and a lot of opportunity for optimization of resource creation and use that I really only touched the surface of.
