    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players finding them mediocre and a potential deterrent for many gamers, while others appreciate the artistic style and visual appeal.

    • “The second game had even better music and was quite interesting with mesmerizing visuals.”
    • “Unlike their previous attempts, the developers are set free from breaking even, resulting in a pure, clear, and astonishingly gorgeous modern presentation of classical celestial spheres.”

    • “Personally, I think they didn't work their aesthetic charm right this time.”
    • “Aside from that, the music and graphics are hearty.”

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music across the games is consistently praised, with users highlighting a range of styles from classical to dreamy compositions that enhance the overall experience.

    • “The third game had nice dreamy music and a very pretty low poly style - it's my favorite by far.”

    • “Say, what happens if we strip off all gameplay elements, all SFX, music, animations, and most of the textures and models from a game, what do we get?”

    • “Aside from that, the music and graphics are hearty.”
  • gameplay
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviews highlight a trend towards simplified gameplay mechanics in narrative-driven genres, often critiquing games that prioritize artistic expression over engaging gameplay. While some titles offer unique angles of interactivity, there is a concern that stripping away core gameplay elements reduces the experience to mere interaction rather than a fulfilling game.

    • “All five of them, to me, show a very different angle of interactivity in gameplay.”
    • “There was a period of gaming where everyone was coming out with pretentious 'experiences' that lacked plot, engaging gameplay, or a point at all in some cases.”
    • “It's less gameplay than interaction.”
    • “The simplified display of game mechanic types or interaction in narrative-driven genres is disappointing.”
    • “If we strip away all gameplay elements, sound effects, music, animations, and most of the textures and models from a game, what do we really have left?”
    • “It's less gameplay and more interaction.”
  • story
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect received mixed feedback, with some users enjoying it, particularly noting that the first game provides a sense of closure, while others feel that the series lacks a cohesive narrative. Overall, the games are perceived as having insufficient storytelling depth.

    • “Loved it, though only the first one gives a sense of closure somehow, because it has an 'end', but none of these games have a proper story.”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players indicate that grinding in the game can be quite demanding, often requiring additional lives to effectively progress.

    • “The grind is challenging but satisfying, making every achievement feel earned.”
    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “The grinding feels endless and tedious.”
    • “I spent hours grinding, and it felt like I made no progress.”
