This is a really cute, but ultimately unsatisfying action platformer. The game is brimming with charm and personality in its art style, music, characters, and environment design. But when it comes down to the actual gameplay and mechanics, it never got to a point where it clicks and makes sense. You just sluggishly move around, mindlessly mash the attack button, and hoping you don't die. I would rather see the story presented as a mini-series TV show, at least with that I wouldn't have to actually play it to enjoy the silly humor.

A solid side-scroller, which can be beaten in around 5 hours.
The presentation and overall vibes are similar to a cartoon. Story is fine for what it is.
Difficulty is overall fair and at moments can be a bit on the harder side.
You can unlock different professions, which adds a bit of replay value.

This game rules. It has a sweet aesthetic that is just crisp as fuck - the character portraits are gorgeous as hell and the voiced dialogue is all fantastic. It has a great sense of humor and a lot of little side stuff to figure out that gives each level some replay value. Highly recommend it.

really cute platformer! loved all the costumes and new moves, and there were a ton of really interesting level concepts (especially that baseball level). only real complaint i have is the one hit deaths were a bit frustrating at times. loving this series so far.
