How it feels
a comedic retro-style adventure where you constantly swap between two rival villains to solve puzzles and fight through colorful, non-linear fortresses.

What players say
Players appreciate the dual-character switching and charming self-aware humor, but note unpolished controls and a requirement for gamepads over keyboard. The game runs about 2-3 hours and is linear with no replay incentive. Boss difficulty is inconsistent, with some early bosses harder than later ones.
