Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly like this fast, dash-cancel platform fighter, but many find the small roster and dead online lobbies a real problem.

Many players praise the movement and combo system: dash cancels after hits create fast, high-pressure play with no shield or ledge grab, which pushes everyone toward offence. Players compare it favourably to Smash Bros. and Rivals of Aether, and several call the art style and music charming and cheap at its price. Some players find the learning curve steep, especially for combos, and say it suits people with experience in the genre. Many complaints concern the small roster of five characters and the wait for promised custom-character support. Some players report slow matchmaking, dead public lobbies, disconnects and freezes online, and say the game is best played locally with friends. Recent reviews are more negative than the older helpful ones, mainly over the missing workshop feature and the lack of updates.

Praised

  • Fast dash-cancel combos

    Dashing out of every hit into another attack gives fast, expressive combos that players find deeply satisfying.

    Many players
  • Smash-like feel

    Players compare it favourably to Smash Bros. and similar platform fighters, praising its snappy, competitive feel.

    Many players
  • Fun with friends

    Players say the game is most enjoyable in local or couch play with friends, even if they are new to the genre.

    Many players
  • Low price, charming style

    Players call it cheap for what it offers and like the stick-figure art style, animation and music.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Small roster

    Only a handful of characters is the most common complaint, with players hoping for more content.

    Many players
  • Dead online lobbies

    Players find few or no opponents online, making matches hard to find without a friend list.

    Many players
  • No workshop or custom characters

    Players say promised character creation and workshop support have not arrived, and some feel misled by the marketing.

    Many players
  • Steep learning curve

    Combos and the dash mechanics take time to learn, and some players find it hard to get comfortable.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who enjoy Smash-style platform fighters, especially those who want to play locally or with friends.
Who should skip it
Players who want a big roster, reliable online matchmaking or a steady flow of updates should probably skip it for now.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with hundreds of hours mostly stay for the combo depth and local play, while many newcomers praise the feel but mention the steep learning curve.
