Pros
Pro Stylized art holds up
Stylized art in older games tends to hold up well compared to art in older games that attempted a more "realistic" feel. Even though the graphics are dated, the game is not such an eyesore.
Pro Great story
Dark and twisted tale that keeps the player engaged.
Pro Addictively challenging gameplay where "just one more game" is a constant
You will die, a lot, and that is the point. The game is challenging, but fair. It is as much about memorization as it is about precision of movement. This makes for a game that needs to be practiced, quite a bit, which should appeal to those who enjoy working for their achievements.
Pro Aggressive aesthetic that forces the player to adapt to succeed, which keeps the gameplay interesting
The visual design of the game consists of basic geometric shapes in bright colors that turn and blink, all while you are trying to stay focused on a little triangle in the middle. This can be distracting and is by design in order to try to trip up the player in their goal of continuing as long as they can.
Pro Great soundtrack that complements the gameplay perfectly
The soundtrack is done by BossFightSwe, who is very well known for their video game sounds.
Cons
Con Difficulty can be challenging for some
This game is hard. So hard that some may find it difficult to complete without cheats. Can be considered a pro or a con
Con May cause nausea
The fast spinning graphics could cause some people a bit of nausea.
