How it feels

A frantic, colorful arcade shoot-'em-up where cute animals pilot mechs through space in chaotic co-op battles against cybernetic fish.

What players say

Players love the hand-drawn art and charming Saturday-morning-cartoon style, but split on the difficulty: some find it perfectly tuned for parties while others call out spikes and cheap deaths. The game is built around local co-op, and reviewers consistently lament the absence of online multiplayer, calling it the one major flaw.
