[h1] Smashy, smashy time! Best played for coop with friend of some sort... Great reminder of goold old flash games! Make sure to grab your controller and mash buttons but with some dose of thinking... Funny story and humor will accompany along the way. Beat'em ups tend to be boring sometimes however this one is not (that much)! Main con here is the game supports only up to 1080p. If you like this one you might also check out Alien Hominid which essentially is similar style beat'em up. Don't be a lollygagger and check out the game! [/h1]

Foul Play is an older game from 2013. It's a venerable 11 years old at the time of this review. It's a handheld (PS-Vita)/console game that's also been put on Steam as a bit of an afterthought, as it's very much designed for the handheld/console gaming audience. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is running at the native resolution of your display. There's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. The developers didn't design the game for gaming PCs, as such the best display resolution is set at or below 720p, a very low resolution that was introduced in 1998 and became obsolete when 1080p HD entered the mainstream in 2006. The game simply won't look right on modern gaming displays due to this failure on the part of the developers. The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers, left handed gamers or gamers using AZERTY or other internationa…

An interesting take on the side scrolling beat em up genre. The basic idea is that rather than having to avoid defeat at the hands of your enemies (as far as I'm aware you can't actually lose) your goal is to perform well in combat since the story on display here is being done as a stage play. Continue long combos, deliver amazing special attacks, and save the day in order to raise the audience mood meter and thus increase the speed at which you can fill up the star rating in hopes of getting a 5 star rating for the stage. Also each stage has challenges in need of completion in order to unlock charms that can be equipped for various boosting effects. A jolly good time!
