A very fun game with a great aesthetic. Simple to get into with some engaging challenges to go for. One small gripe is that the Unlucky Coins achievement is the only unfun part of the game because it relies a lot on RNG. But ultimately, it wasn't too bad to get. A slightly larger gripe is that the monetization feels weird and is essentially a pay-to-win system as you can buy coins to unlock more powerful characters.

Each environment introduces its own combination of obstacles, enemies and hazards, so I cannot completely rely on the same approach every time. I liked collecting coins along the way because they give me another reason to keep pushing upward, especially when I am trying to unlock more characters and improve my ch…

pretty nice lidl game

There's lots of bugs but it's ok because you can slice them by hitting them from the side or from the top Fun game

such a simple idea that is very well executed. lots of characters to unlock with different abilities and different levels with different enemies, enemy behaviors, environments, and sounds.
