  • The game is fun and enjoyable, especially as a party game with friends, utilizing public domain characters creatively.
  • Despite being in early access, the game has a solid foundation with good graphics, sound, and easy-to-learn controls.
  • There is a lot of potential for future updates, including the addition of more characters, maps, and gameplay features.
  • The game currently lacks online multiplayer, limiting play to local co-op, which can be a significant drawback for those wanting to play with friends remotely.
  • There are issues with gameplay balance, such as the rapid depletion of ammo and the speed of enemy projectiles, which can lead to frustrating experiences.
  • The game is light on content at the moment, with only a few characters and maps, and the user interface can be confusing, especially regarding controls.

    The gameplay shows promise with its concept and potential character roster, but currently suffers from limited variety, poor balancing, and a lack of a robust single-player mode, with only five characters available. While the controls are responsive, particularly with keyboard and mouse, the overall experience feels repetitive and the menus are uninspired. However, as the game is in early access, there is optimism for improvements in the future.

    • “There's so much potential in this concept, both with the roster and the gameplay. Add Oswald and the game becomes a 10/10.”
    • “In the actual gameplay, I think keyboard and mouse controls are really good, but the game seems to not be optimized for it (that's what Steam told me). This seems to refer to the menus and UI, which is a shame since I believe controller and keyboard controls would benefit this game greatly.”
    • “No proper single player mode (although the single player survival mode is still decent fun), only 5 characters and guns, poor balancing and gameplay variety, and the menus are kind of boring and uninspired.”
    • “In the actual gameplay, I think keyboard and mouse controls are really good, but the game seems to not be made for it (that's what Steam told me), which seems to refer to the menus and UI. It's a shame since I think controller and keyboard controls would benefit this game greatly.”
    • “I do find the gameplay to be a bit repetitive; however, this is early access, so I'm sure it will be made better as time goes on, and I do think that this game has a bright future ahead of itself.”

    Players express a strong desire for a dedicated single-player story mode, highlighting the potential for a richer narrative experience beyond the current survival mode. There is also interest in a couch co-op story mode, as teased by the developers, indicating that the community is eager for more structured storytelling elements in the game. Overall, while multiplayer is enjoyable, many feel that a well-developed story mode could significantly enhance the game's appeal.

    • “I also think a single player story mode would be amazing for this game. Multiplayer is fun, but I see that the devs do have an idea for a story, so expanding that into a single player campaign would be amazing.”
    • “I do hope to see a proper single player mode outside of the basic survival mode, maybe a story mode or classic mode.”
    • “I hope to see a proper single-player mode outside of the basic survival mode (maybe a story mode/classic mode or something? I dunno.)”
    • “I’d love a couch co-op story mode like what was teased.”
    • “Other than that, my only other complaint is that the 'how to play' menu and the 'story' menu don't close once opened, and you just can't make the game fullscreen.”

    The humor in the game is highlighted by a funny intro title and appealing splash art, setting a lighthearted tone. Players are particularly excited about the character Dan Backslide, whose antics, such as running over ninjas, promise to deliver comedic moments. Overall, the humor is a significant draw, with fans hoping for the retention of amusing weapons and elements from public domain stories.

    • “The intro title is funny and is a nice setup, and the splash art is very appealing.”
    • “As mentioned earlier, the next character is confirmed to be Dan Backslide, which is going to be extremely funny in my opinion, but would not be complete if he couldn't run over ninjas in a stolen runabout.”
    • “Now while this is very funny and I would hate to see these weapons get removed (please God keep them in), I think it'd be great to throw in some weapons based on the public domain stories already being used.”
