Potentially could be really good, but I struggle to enjoy it due to numerous faults. Contains two nights (levels) at the moment, there's a disclaimer for a third night, but it's unclear to me if it will be added. + Strong theme + Good audio - Items feel quite unbalanced, juice box/slingshot feel like best items by far, while some others like extra XP feel bad to use, due to limited 3 passive and 3 weapon slots - Achievements that unlock items feel like they add item bloat rather than help, many of them I avoid - You can get offered temporary power-ups among permanent upgrades, which is more bloat Initially kind of fun, if hard, but the item balance and lack of replay value become apparent soon. Could become a lot better with the right approach.

This is a surprisingly good little VS-type game that is well worth the price tag. I've played a TON of these VS games over the last three years or so and this is definitely in the top 20% of them all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Xtw1ZmKUhg&t=24s RECOMMENDED: If you like VS type games and have a couple of dollars to spare, this is a good way to spend that small amount of money for sure.

It's got a great aesthetic. Visuals are unique and are what drew me to buy the game. But the game itself feels empty. Played a few rounds, only unlocked a couple items, and all the upgrades are boring. "Shoot faster level 1, shoot faster level 2" etc. I didn't encounter any meta progression other than a couple unlocks - no cross game upgrades. Weapons feel unbalanced and uninteresting. All that said, especially due to the really cool graphics, I think this game could turn into something much better given time. And for its price, this isn't a hard not recommend. I also realize I seem to have the first "negative" review so maybe I'm just missing something. I like variety in these games, not the same old "this shoots a basic projectile and upgrading it makes it go faster, that's all" type of game play. But I don't regret a $2 purchase and I'll check back in over time.

For the price tag: this is an GREAT game. VS-like, mascot horror? This is the game I never knew I needed.

Achievements keep resetting. Two of your three level up offerings will often be temporary item boosts. Weapon/passives are wildly unbalanced. The game is thematically cool, but it face plants at the finishing line in terms of quality control. Especially since beating the final boss hard crashed my game. :/
