    • “So much style and an actually really heartfelt story!”
    • “I wasn't really paying too much attention to the story, may look into more eventually though, but it seems pretty good.”
    • “Only thing I really dislike is some of the level designs; this game loves to overwhelm you with enemies in the story mode, and there's also some raw platforming that doesn't really fit the fighting-focused movement much.”
    • “So much flow to the combat and a messed up little story.”

    • “Unless I missed something, I didn’t see a combo/move list (that could totally be my fault), which led to me learning about the blue bar mechanic in the final level, which was slightly annoying.”
    • “Incredible combat with every move in your toolset having its place and viability, and just enough mechanics to not feel overwhelming.”

    • “The art styles are pretty simple, but I really like the use of mixed media for the enemies.”
    • “And the art/aesthetic of the game is so nostalgic; it's reminiscent of a 2000s Newgrounds flash game in such a charming way.”
