How it feels

A stylish, fast-paced 2D fighter with hand-drawn animation and a dark deco aesthetic, balancing competitive intensity with quirky character personality.

What players say

Players praise the fluid gameplay, outstanding art and jazz soundtrack, but are split on the game's sexualized character designs and the developer's content removals. The tutorials are widely appreciated, though the single-player story is called shallow and the final boss is considered unfairly difficult. Some report the online multiplayer is dead.
