Pros
Pro Great story and aesthetics
The story is a really good Sci-FI tale that takes advantage of good music and wonderfully made pixel art.
Pro Parallel stories
There are two stories that the player switches between while playing.
Pro Really good touch controls
For a game with fighting mechanics and many moves the touch screen controls actually work really well. Much as one would hold a controller the left hand controls movement including a jump and the right allows for punching, kicking, stomping and a combo of using both thumbs to do jumping attacks.
Pro Great sense of humor
A fist that talks, stripper bears, constantly breaking the fourth wall are all thing to be found in this game. There is an enjoyable sense of humor to be found that makes the game stand out from most beat em ups.
Cons
Con Letterboxed on the sides
There are black bars on both sides of the game.
Con Poor combat sequences
The combat sequences feel a bit forced and not all that fun.
Con Combat feels too repetitive
Once one figures out the timing and best maneuvers the core of the fighting can feel repetitive and gets boring.
