How it feels

A frantic ink-and-paper brawl where gravity shifts underfoot and every match feels like a chaotic, playful duel inside an old book.

What players say

Players love the chaotic 2D brawling and gravity-flipping mechanics, but they are sharply divided by the local-only co-op. Many warn that the single-player against AI is shallow and the keyboard controls are unusable, insisting on a controller. The short campaign and lack of online multiplayer disappoint those without a regular couch group.
