Reviews
- The game is fast-paced and offers a unique blend of mechanics reminiscent of games like Rocket League and Super Smash Bros, making it highly enjoyable.
- The graphics and sound design are impressive, with a vibrant aesthetic and a fantastic soundtrack that enhances the overall experience.
- Gameplay is addictive with a high skill ceiling, allowing for satisfying plays and teamwork, especially in local multiplayer settings.
- The online multiplayer experience is lacking, as players cannot queue for 2v2 matches with friends and often end up playing against bots.
- Controls can feel clunky and unresponsive at times, which detracts from the overall gameplay experience.
- The player base is currently small, leading to difficulties in finding matches and a sense of the game being 'dead' at times.
