    • “It's not very long, has a fun art style and solid mechanics.”

  • music16 mentions

    The music in the game is generally considered better than in its predecessor, "Dr. Atominus," with standout tracks during boss battles. However, players note a significant lack of music overall, leading to areas without any sound to prevent repetition, resulting in a minimalist and sometimes dull auditory experience. While some tracks are appreciated, the limited variety leaves much to be desired.

    • “Great boss battles and boss battle music.”
    • “Of course not, but it brings some surprisingly excellent art, animation, and music to the party as well as some refined controls, and will entertain you for the two hours or so it'll take you to complete it.”
    • “It even has a very gloomy soundtrack, which I thought was pretty funny; some of the boss songs are nice though.”
    • “The developers were forced to have areas without any music in order to avoid having the few tracks they have become too repetitive in the game.”
    • “There is hardly any music.”
    • “The music you do hear is minimalist and dull.”

    • “Nothing in the game stands out; the graphics are poor; the information given by the game is insufficient to understand what to do (e.g. what's the lightning for?); the enemy mechanics are very tedious.”
