  • The music and overall aesthetic create a nostalgic arcade atmosphere that appeals to fans of simple, enjoyable gameplay.
  • The game suffers from technical issues, including crashes when accessing the options menu and a requirement for a controller, which limits accessibility.

  • story
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is charming and simplistic, featuring cute cutscenes and a main character that players find endearing. While the story mode can be completed in about an hour and offers a relaxed experience with the option to revisit stages, it unlocks a more challenging mode afterward. Overall, the narrative is enjoyable, especially in co-op play, but the brevity may not justify its price for some players.

    • “The main character is very cute, and the story is charming.”
    • “So in summary; very cute and simplistic arcade-style game with a fun story, probably a lot more entertaining with a friend.”
    • “The entire main game will take you about an hour and a half to finish, which unlocks a 'challenge mode' that is just the same game all over again where you play until you lose (in the story mode, you can go back and continue from whatever level you lost at, which makes it a bit more relaxing).”
    • “The story is simple, but it does include cutscenes that I personally find very cute, apparently with a different ending if you do co-op (for reasons that make sense once you've done the story alone).”
    • “The game itself isn't long at all and can be finished within an hour or so casually playing through it for the first time, but this game offers a challenge mode after finishing the story which is the real deal no holds barred difficult achievement of the game to go for.”
  • gameplay
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is engaging and reminiscent of classic titles like Bubble Bobble, featuring unique glove mechanics that enhance movement and combat. Players enjoy the challenge of clearing stages by defeating enemies with a ranged glove, and the mechanics are well-executed, encouraging replayability. However, the lack of new content in the challenge mode may lead to a sense of completion after a short playtime, raising concerns about the game's value at launch.

    • “The glove grabbing mechanics make moving around fun and interesting.”
    • “The movement mechanics and the power-ups keep me coming back, trying to beat it faster and faster.”
    • “Because the challenge mode doesn't offer anything new in terms of gameplay, I would say that you've basically seen the entire game after an hour and a half of playing, which, again, does not warrant the current price upon release.”
    • “The game itself and the mechanics are very well-done and competently executed, which is why I have to recommend it.”
    • “You clear stages (or 'recipes') by defeating all the enemies in each level, with a unique mechanic of shooting a ranged glove onto them.”
  • graphics
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics are described as simple yet charming, featuring adorable characters and a vibrant food aesthetic that complements its arcade style. However, players have noted the absence of retro CRT filters, as well as several graphical glitches, including flickering and crashes in the options menu. Overall, while the visuals have their appeal, technical issues detract from the experience.

    • “The characters are adorable, and the game has this big food aesthetic.”
    • “+ nice arcade aesthetic and soundtrack”
    • “The graphics are very simple, but the main complaint here is the lack of old school CRT filters to make the game feel retro.”
    • “This game suffers from a few graphical glitches such as flickering, and there is no way to play without a controller. Additionally, the options screen currently crashes the game.”
    • “The graphics are very simple, but the main complaint here is the lack of old school CRT filters to make the game feel retro.”
