“first half of the game is wonderful. Then it becomes mario with guns and overcomplicates itself. It makes me appreciate how simple hotline miami stayed while still being fun.”
“I wish I could enjoy the game, but I can't. That being said, I think it's just not for me. The mechanics are fun, intricate and tight in some instances with brilliant ideas that translate well into gameplay, but I lack…”
“Very fun and extremely replayable but story could be longer 9.5/10”

“This game is absolute cinema. As a serial killer, you do everything from murdering fanatic cosplayers to a motorcycle chase with a psychopathic butcher. All for your beloved banana Pedro. 10/10”
“A talking banana tells you to kill everyone and honestly? Best decision is to listen. My Friend Pedro is pure stylish chaos. The trick shooting mechanics let you split bullets, kick objects at enemies, and chain kills…”

“简单耐玩”
“Jogabilidade muito prazerosa e, para quem gosta de melhorar pontuações, é perfeito. As animações e arte visual, achei medíocres, ainda que entenda o estilo low-poly. Infelizmente, torna-se repetitivo muito rápido.”

“It is a fun short game that you can play between other games. Music is really good, stunts look fun, and it tries to keep you entertained. Somehow I found myself not really looking forward to completing it though. The…”

“so fun, so clean, so precise. i love doing backflips and annihilating my opps while my banana friend whispers lovely encouragements to me”
“I'll skip the introduction to the game mechanics, you should've seen the trailer. But I'll add that the gunplay feels great and movement is nice (excluding some annoying quirks) and there are some platformer heavy…”
“It's nice. Bought it on the cheap during a sale and admittendly, you will finish the game on hard in 5 hours. It's fun on the Steam Deck and I love the gameplay. It gives you that feeling you got when you first played…”

“Has a decent start but doesn't finish strong. The controls are clunky and character feels too floaty for the amount of platforming. These problems cause a lot of frustration in the back half of the game, where the…”
“It's a style meter game that wants you to do multiple runs and master each level, but forgot to make the first playthrough actually fun. The movement and gunplay is kinda clunky and not satisfying enough to spend dozens…”

“This is a Hotline Miami-like 2D side scroller where a talking banana guides you through the art of murder. This game is split into different linear levels which are full of dangerous enemies which you will have to clear in order to get to the end, really straight forward. You…”

I really did enjoy playing this, though I'd have appreciated a greater variety of settings and enemies. The game only lets it self go fully…”
