I've loved this game since I beat the arcade in the demo. It's a fun, reasonably priced, and goofy little game that has great controls and fun custom modes.4 found this helpful
Couldn't breath from laughing so hard after playing this competitive indie game with friends and randos. I get pretty motion sick, so I love that I have the option to adjust the settings to play the game without feeling sick. I'm not the strongest game player either but I was able to pick it up after a couple of rounds. Super fun for game nights!3 found this helpful
really fun game! LOTS of match settings you can play around with to always keep things fresh3 found this helpful
A great party and surprisingly competitive game. Simple controls with a satisfying game play loop. Honestly feels like smash bros. but dodge ball. Tons of custom game settings. The demo lets you play online for free (at time of review) so great barrier to entry and the price is more than worth it. Highly recommend grabbing.3 found this helpful
Fun simple game to play couch co-op with friends. Characters have expressive personalities between their animation flourishes and voice acting. Worth the price as a fun party game2 found this helpful
Starting out in the arcade the game seems like a basic concept that is easy to pick up, but once you get into different arenas and different game modes it starts to develop. Then, once you start playing against other players online it turns up another notch and you have to try and out-game the dodges and the jumps and the dashes. Especially once you bring in the different physics mechanics, it becomes really hard to master. I would definitely recommend it for a fun casual game as it is pretty quick and easy to pick up the basics. I would also recommend it for someone who has a friend they want to master a fighting style game with! This game really reminds me stylistically of "Duck Game".2 found this helpful
