Average, but with enough charm to make me feel positive about it by the end. In terms of the things I enjoyed, the sprite art is quite pleasing, and the music is surprisingly good. However, the movement speed feeds incredibly slow for the type of game it is, and it suffers the same fate as early 3DS or even DS games where the stylus is overused to the point where it slows down the game even more. Doing all of the side content--which involved replaying the same levels multiple times to find new characters to rescue or chests to unlock--took about 10 hours, so it really does not overstay its welcome. It was perfect for small sessions during a busy work week, but probably would not be worth any more than the $8 I bought it for.
