How it feels

A fast and fluid pixel-art beat 'em up with nostalgic retro energy and lighthearted co-op action.

What players say

Players praise the flashy combo system and pixel art, but many find the campaign short, around two hours, and some levels like the elevator in 4-2 cause frustration with stunlocks. The game lacks a story, and online co-op is limited to a survival mode, opinions split on difficulty changes that upset some fans.
