The art style, sounds and music are very stylistically consistent, I like the moody atmosphere they create. The physics and controls are on a harder side to my liking, but they make sense and the game doesn't strike me as unfair. Levels are unique and interesting, I liked how they slowly introduce you to new obstacles and approaches.
