How it feels

A nostalgic beat-em-up with over-the-top aerial combos, fast fluid action, and a darkly comedic tone that revels in its own absurdity.

What players say

Players like the retro pixel art and humorous story, but many say the controls feel stiff and clunky, with jerky animation. The game is short and some find the grind excessive for a brawler of its size.
