👍 Strengths

71 reviews call it addictive and fun, and some say they cannot believe it costs nothing. Pricing & Fairness ranks 124th of 1399. 62 praise the visuals, with retro 3D models and a sketchy art style that a few say carry a charming late 90s feel. Visuals & Sound appears in 58% of reviews and ranks 119th of 1249. 18 enjoy the music and sound effects, and some compare the soundtrack to classic street style games. Story & World ranks 505th of 1096, with a few enjoying its humor.

👎 Where it falls short

44 reviews find the difficulty harsh, citing enemy placement that feels unfair, short invincibility after a hit and certain trials that some took many attempts to pass. 12 discuss length, with some wishing it were longer and a few finding it drawn out. 6 point to balance problems, such as a boss that spikes the curve and an endless mode that leans heavily on luck. Gameplay ranks 817th of 1396.
