Smooth mechanics and intuitive controls which allow for easy control of the character, while retaining a high skill ceiling for players already familiar with 3D platformers.
Attention to details, such as the cross-hair visual indicator when the hook is in range, or the hourglass showing current health rather than just an HP bar, which is both innovative and immersive.
Game seamlessly "communicates" to the player using level design (e.g. tutorial written on whiteboard object at the beginning), and integrates the story in the game world rather than forcing it upon the player.
It is worth taking into consideration that unaccustomed players might finds certain parts of the game confusing, such as the lack of a clearly specified objective or direction, which is made even more disorienting by the distorted nature of the game level.
Overall, this game puts fun and fast-paced action above all else, while still maintaining a considerable degree of artistic value through its remarkable audio quality, peculiar dark-neon color palette and psychedelic visual design.
