The gameplay is characterized by simple fighting mechanics that allow for button-mashing, making it accessible but lacking depth. While some players enjoy experimenting with the quirky character abilities and combo systems, others criticize the overall execution, including poor physics and a need for better balancing. Despite its flaws, the diverse stages and pleasant voice acting contribute positively to the experience.
- “The gameplay mechanic is fun and easy to use.”
- “Even though everything could use some more polish, the stages were diverse, the voice acting is pleasant, and the gameplay was popping.”
- “At first, I was weirded out by there being no special moves, but the quirks in each character, overarching system mechanics, and free-flow combo system make up for it.”
- “The fighting mechanics consist of a few abilities, but you can just button-mash and never lose.”
- “Gameplay mechanics are bad, but for a free game with anime-type characters and Japanese voice acting, you can't really complain.”
- “There is a lot of artifacting in the gameplay, poor physics, and overall a really ugly game.”

- “The story is hard to follow though.”

The music in the game has received mixed feedback; while some players appreciate its uniqueness, others find it lacking compared to iconic soundtracks like Minecraft's. Overall, the sound design, including character audio and sound mixing, is considered subpar, detracting from the overall experience. Despite these criticisms, a few players still find the music enjoyable amidst the game's chaotic elements.
- “Music was nice.”
- “After playing it for about an hour or so, and looking at this game from a fighting game standpoint, I feel like if maybe some things about the game changed like character audio, stage design, music, animations, and the combo system, this could be a really good game.”
- “The music and story are passable, but the sound design and game UI could use some work.”
- “Sure, it's the most hilariously jank fighting game you've ever played... the music is weird, the sound mixing is hilariously bad (menu sound effects are super loud and punch sound effects are barely consistent nor audible).”

The humor in the game is described as both charming and absurdly flawed, with players finding enjoyment in its janky mechanics and over-the-top elements. While the game features cute characters and a unique style, its numerous technical issues and bizarre design choices contribute to a hilariously entertaining experience that many recommend for its sheer absurdity. Overall, it strikes a balance between being endearingly quirky and comically broken, making it a memorable, if imperfect, title.
- “Glorious and hilarious!”
- “Sure, it's the most hilariously jank fighting game you've ever played, several characters have one-button infinites, the sound mixing is hilariously bad (menu sfx are super loud and punch sfx are barely consistent nor audible), the music is weird, the shaders are blindingly bright, the cloth physics are wild and super floppy, the animations are jank, the character names are hardly believable, there are no special moves, you can't press buttons while moving sometimes, the camera when you jump is a little sickening, the environments make no sense at all, the voices happen every time you do any move on the screen, and super moves do like 45% of your health, but once you get past all of that... uh... a solo man's effort at a video game.”
- “I'm at least happy that this dev was inspired to make a video game, but this is just hilariously bad to the point of 'you need to play this because it is appallingly amazing.'”
