Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
14 of 45 sampled reviews raised it
gameplay wise it is a top-down scroller, but with several factores affecting it it becomes more by opening up ways for different play styles; unlockables and varied enemy types will allow you freedom of play where speed is not the only solution to every situation, nor is it the best.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
8 of 45 sampled reviews raised it
The pixel graphics and in-game humor are few of the charming things of the game, but one of the biggest selling point for me is the soundtrack (to all the music composers, hats off to you guys) which made the whole gaming experience very fun and at times, exciting and challenging.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 45 sampled reviews raised it
sound design: music choices and how it sounds lends to the old TV feel the game is going for, and the game sound effects are clear, and distinct, to allow you to rely on them for sound cues.
