How it feels

A zany pixel-art cooperative runner that feels like chaotic arcade action with friends, playable but less lively alone.

What players say

Players praise the inventive three-lane auto-scrolling combat, but almost all say local co-op is essential because solo control of three characters feels clumsy. Opinions are split on bugs: some find them charming, others frustrating. Online multiplayer was reported broken by several reviewers.
