Great pixel art and what looked to be a touching story about the relationship between a dog and his boy initially drew me to Balthazar's Dream.

23 of 73 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay is fast and action-packed and you'll need to react quickly and use the environment to your advance, thankfully there are a lot of checkpoints to help you through your journey but they're not mandatory and can be avoided if you're looking for a tougher challenge.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
11 of 73 sampled reviews raised it
Cool pixel graphics and funny details bring back the charm of retro games.
