Pros:
+ Interesting little indie platform fighter
+ Weird combat which inherently balances out the skill gap between the experts and casuals a bit (though long-time players will still have a huge advantage)
+ Cool character designs and a grimy-looking but simultaneously pleasing hand-drawn(?) art style
+ Fair and balanced stages for the most part, with a lot of variety
+ Rules are very customizable for different types of matches
+ Gameplay and game feel is just inherently enjoyable and fun
+ Pretty solid sound design

Cons:
(I want to note here that it’s a small and cheap indie game, so obviously it’s not going to be the biggest, grandest experience in the world, but I’d still say you should get it on a discount instead of forking up the full 10€)
- Not really much content aside from the main matches as well as a singleplayer/co-op wave survival mode which uses the same stages and characters with little variety
- There could be more customization options than just slightly different color hues for the ”fleshbird” characters
- No music at all, which is a serious disappointment since this art style would pair well with some funky micropop or other silly jams
- If you play with permanent powerups on (or even just spam the Beakgun powerup on normal rules), you’ll end up using all of your upgrades simultaneously so much that it starts lagging the game out a lot since it’s not very well optimized. This can even happen with just 4+ players using powerups normally. Probably the biggest flaw with the game
- No so-called ”legal” stage, all stages have some kind of hazard or otherwise are obstructive when it could’ve been very easy to add a Final Destination-like stage as an extra (there kind of is one or two, but they’re really small with spikes facing the character immediately outside the platform, which is unfortunate)

All in all, the game’s still definitely worth to get! I just feel like the creator could’ve maybe kept updating it for a while
