Honestly I was expecting a lot more.
- Combat is basic.
- To me, moving around is not fun and it's too slow.
- I like the character art, my only criticism for it is I feel Otus looks weird when he's in the falling animation.
- The hoops you go through to collect coins feels like such a random feature. It gives you something to do I suppose, but their existence doesn't really make sense to me.
- It took me 8 hours to finish the story. I would reckon that it would take even less than this if you didn't spend a fair amount of time playing the cannon minigame, and spend a fair amount of time trying to find hidden things and revisiting some areas as I have.

It is my understanding that the game has had a rocky development, and they had cut a lot of content, and that it was a labor of love and so on... I sympathize with that... But that being said I can't justify a good recommendation just out of pity. It was an okay experience, but nothing to write home about. I think the content that the game gives you for the price($25) is not a good value.

eh, its okay but its nothing to write home about. Combat is too simple. Figuring out prices is trivialized w/ the sale box + simple math.

Hit the road, get lost, go take a hike, ged outta here fuggetaboutit.

But ya, good game, pleasant experience, nice dialogue.

Great game, nicely balanced.
Even nicer if you got friends to play it with,
if you don't got that, you should try joining a clan(or if you're ambitious, making one).

It's important to note that at the very beginning you will definetly be wrecked by other people who have already played the game for a bit. This is one reason why I recommend playing with friends. It's not that bad though once you've gotten used to the game.

A couple reviews below are salty and say that as you get higher ranked, people get passive and run away. This obstacle certainly exists, but it can be overcome(especially because of the chain-dodging feature that was introduced).
I say this as a player who is diamond ranked.

Don't look at anything about the game before playing

People in other reviews say that it is like Mario Karts with legs, and they'd be right, when you're low skill.

Now this isn't to insult anyone who's new to playing the game, but when you've learnt all the mechanics, unlike mario karts there is a way to counter every single item you come across, only sometimes would you need another item to counter. Also unlike mario karts, items are not the largest part about it. There are 4 things that make you go fast 1: those boats that give you boost which you can use at any time 2: the bubbles that are in some parts of levels 3: If you have alot of velocity downward and you grapple you get alot of horizontal velocity 4: Same applies with number 3 but with slopes(stairs included) that are in the level.

3 & 4 is where I say that high-skilled players are separated from the low-skill that makes it unlike mario karts. Because most people who are new to the game don't know this(you should probably add it somewhere in the tutorial devs, or choose a different level that demonstrates these 2 well). Anyways, these 2 important mechanics are what most of the useful tricks in speedrunners are basically derived from, it basicallys makes up the speed in speedrunners. Its these 2 mechanics that make it fairly different from mario kart, because in mario kart, without the items its basically who knows the map's parts and who's learned which kart is best to use and how to do the turns well(which isn't very in depth).


That's what I wanted to say about how this game is not mario karts. This game is extremely fun and very competitive. I've been playing it for at least a few hours every day. I've put 229.5 hours into this game, just the last 2 weeks I've put 21.9 hours(which is more than what other people writing these reviews as of now have even ever played).

Sometimes speedrunners is buggy, and perhaps it could use some more maps, but this game is top-notch, no doubt about it.

the characters also amuse me. 10/10.
