Great game with a very unique art style, fantastic gameplay and 2 well designed bosses. The only thing i have to mention is that the Cutscenes stay at full volume even if you change it and the MC is standing wierdly straight in them. Still really good can't wait to see what else you cook up.

Neutral rating here. It's not awful, it's not fantastic, but being a student game, that goes with the territory sometimes. Visually and control-wise, it's not bad at all, but it's all just a little on the janky side. The real downside is that it's just kind of boring and basic, like, I've done all of this a thousand times before. Mash attacks and dodge occasionally, but this time... it's a merguy! I don't mean to bash too hard on the game, it's not bad, just not great. It's a student game and you can tell. If they had more time to develop the game, this could have probably been a decent beat 'em up, but this one just falls flat. Mid.

Too demanding as regards the system requirements and a nice example of how to make people not want to play your game.
