When it was first teased for the Switch, I knew I had to get it for its art style and fighting mechanics. I think this game is fine, the characters are great, the backgrounds look good, and the two button concept is fine. There's just really not much to it. You just have a standard arcade mode and a VS mode. For how stylized this game is, I feel like they could've put some fun modes to spice things up. You can play online, which is cool. Overall, I wouldn't pay more than 3 bucks for this game.

Aesthetically very cute, but plays strangely. Diagonals and timed button presses? I dunno about that...

Really enjoyed playing as Parker in this. Some disgusting little setups and combos you can use, despite the ostensible simple controls. Had a great deal of fun with this.

It's a cute game with a cute premise, but that's it. Its price tag doesn't justify its content, and it doesn't help that its kickstarter promises weren't actually fulfilled.
