Pro Game progression through new moves
Areas in the game are unlocked by performing moves on obstructive blocks, which allows your move complexity to increase proportionally with game progression.
Cons
Con Controls on the keyboard don't work that well
The game is clearly designed with a controller in mind. Specifically, a mechanic that allows throwing enemies and various objects uses the analog stick to aim. Aiming using the keyboard is limited to 8 directions and is not sufficiently precise.
Con Subpar combat system
The combat feels clunky in comparison to actual fighting games.
