How it feels

A nostalgic arcade beat 'em up that feels like gathering friends for a breezy, straightforward brawling session.

What players say

Players praise the satisfying air juggling combos and three distinct characters, but note clunky animations, clichéd dialogue, and poor localization. Some find it monotonous with levels that feel too long, while others appreciate its arcade nostalgia and challenge. Co-op is a highlight.
