How it feels

A lighthearted and charming arcade brawler where you switch between three cute pixel characters to fight diverse enemies with special skills and combo attacks.

What players say

Players praise the cute pixel art and comedic story but find the combat shallow: no grapple, few combos, and enemies that can juggle the player with no escape. The difficulty comes from damage spikes and enemy spam rather than smart AI.
