this game could be amazing becasue the visual ideas and all the 2d animations are beautiful but the in game stuff is so bad sometime. texures on models load in all fuzzy and stay that way. the timing with visual and music is so very clunky, the movment is super weird on the 3d animation, and just over all needed more time and if it used more time to refine it could have been one of my favorite games of all time.

This could've been peak if more effort went into the actual gameplay. Music is top notch though.

I fell off the map and accidentally skipped 3 chapters to the end of game, loved the art direction and characters but really poor gameplay (most upgrades are useless) and the story lacks on all aspects probably because of the fact that I skipped the most of the story with the glitch but at that point I was almost going to drop the game because nothing interesting was happening

This game is so fun and you can feel the passion that went into it. The music is very good too, more specifically the EDM versions of the songs. Surprisingly, the rock versions are pretty lacking.

The music is awesome which is to be expected for a game based around it. Combat is a bit too simple for my liking when it comes to combos, there is not much of a mix-up in attacks for both characters. Jumping feels stiff so when there are short platforming sections, a small part of me isn't too sure about my aim and where I'd land. The visuals are very colorful and the animation is good. The comedy of this game gives me the vibes of a Saturday morning cartoon. Overall it's a fun experience that could have its gameplay expanded further if they had a sequel.

I really do like this game. The music, the setting, the acting, mostly everything is really good but the gameplay is something I can't leave out...it's pretty bonked. I'd give it a try, just go in knowing that you sometimes aren't gonna be able to control the camera when you want or when you press X to attack it will sometimes do a heavy when you didn't want that so you die and have to do the level over...
