“Addicting as hell, looks great, though difficulty is low at first and then spikes later in the story. Incredibly fun to play with friend(s). This game would be really great if it had LAN/online play.”

“Extremely fun. Frustrating as all-getup, but fun. The game requires you get quite good to advance very far, and at times can feel unfair, but overall it's a blast to play and has a great soundtrack. Great fun for…”

“Aesthetically this game is fantastic! It has it's own unique and compelling art style, easy to understand and fun gameplay and of course, a great music to tie it all together while you are swearing at your friend! Each time you complete a level or game with our friend, you gain…”
— a player, Steam review · 0 hrs played“A really polished game, and probably the best party game I've ever played. It resembles Lethal League, but without the complex, fighting game-like aspect. It sticks to a simple, very efficient formula, and is consequently way more approachable. No matter how much time you've…”
