The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players criticizing the lack of originality and poor mechanics, leading to a frustrating experience, particularly with the spammable tag mechanic. However, others appreciate the graphics and animations, noting that the gameplay is enjoyable, especially for local multiplayer. Overall, while the concept shows promise, the execution leaves much to be desired.
“Gameplay is really good and so is the graphic.”
“Mechanics are 8.5/10, pretty much the same as any other smash/platform fighter inspired games on PC. The animations and character movements are amazing!”
“You can spam the tag mechanic rapidly and never get punished for it, thus pressure game is impossible to punish.”
“The mechanics of the game, the controls, and the gameplay are very bad; the concept of the game is great though.”
“I'll keep my eye on dimvs, with every intention to help them out should teepee come back to development, but in its current state, this is little more than a neat game to use for local multiplayer gameplay.”

The humor in the game is highlighted by the absurdity of Hero's special moves, particularly the amusing visual of lasers shooting from his chest and the occasional ineffectiveness of his side special, which can lead to comical moments during gameplay.
“Hero's standard special has lasers coming out of his chest, and it's quite funny to see. Sometimes his side special does nothing even if the opponent is right in the middle of it.”
“The game's dialogue is filled with witty one-liners that had me laughing out loud.”
“I love how the characters have such quirky personalities; their interactions are hilarious and keep the gameplay light-hearted.”

Character development in the game is praised for its appealing design and skill variety, suggesting a solid foundation that could benefit from further refinement and a larger player community. Overall, it stands out as one of the better alternatives to the Smash series.
“The character design and skills in the game are impressive. I hope to see further polish soon and a larger player base, but overall, this is probably the best of the Smash clones.”
