Good music and art style. Inventive creature design. Complex combat system that rewards learning. Nonlinear world design. Really enjoyed it. 18 hours to beat first time--normal difficulty.

Great with friends.

Fun little arcade game. Controls are well-suited to an analog controller stick. Multiplayer with friends is a blast--all on one screen, trying to fling little pixel death at each other...

I got this on sale for like 18 cents. It's a simple game, but pick it up for cheap and it won't disappoint.

Gorgeous little game. Tight two-button control scheme stays satisfying from beginning to end to however many extra challenges you want. Visually simple but quite nice. Music is pretty good. The "story"/narration is pretty cool, imho. It's lowkey. Probably about 2 hours to complete the game first time. I've put a lot more time in going for achievements, speedruns, perfect ratings, etc. There are daily/nightly challenges, effectively giving you a new level every 12 hours (24 hour window to complete) to try to keep up with.

Update 7/20/2016: why am I still playing this game help

Breathtaking.

Music, art, story, atmosphere... 10/10.

Combat is pretty satisfying, though I wouldn't suggest playing on the higher difficulties.

For me, this is a one-and-done game. I don't see a ton of replayability. That said, this was one of my best gaming experiences ever.
