Strengths

The short, fast-paced matches and easy controls make it suitable for brief sessions or casual play.
The crossover roster of indie and subculture characters from Cave Story, The Binding of Isaac, Astro Boy, Black Jack, and other works is appealing.

There's also a Story mode with multiple branching paths to explore. Innovative new “wrap-around” feature allows you to move falling Crystal pairs beyond the edge of the grid to reappear on the other side.

Each character has his or her own stage, musical theme, unique offensive and defensive Bursts and voice-acted exclamations! Fully customizable Crystal colors, including a “Colorblind” setting that makes the Crystals easier to distinguish for players with color blindness. And remember: NEVER GIVE UP! Eat your broccoli.
