Though sometimes certain buttons don’t work all that great, like having a hard time grabbing someone. But other than the few little issues it’s a great game **Developer response:** Hi Kymmie💕! It's fantastic to hear you enjoyed the story and art style! We acknowledge the difficulty you faced with certain buttons not working well, and we truly appreciate your detailed feedback. It helps us understand how to enhance the experience even further. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for being part of our community! 💛 ### 4/5 — Good so far! *2026-02-04* Just started, really liked it but the first boss was tough with my CRKD Neo S controller because double fwd to run is not reliable. Switched to PS5 controller and seems much better. **Developer response:** Hi there! It's wonderful to hear that you're enjoying the game! 💛 We're so glad that switching to the PS5 controller has made your experience better. Your feedback about the controls is truly appreciated, and we'll make sure to share it.

The negative reviews claiming it’s a sub for game…. Naaaaah Crunchyroll games are for Crunchyroll subscribers that 10 a month is for all your anime and the games, like what Netflix is doing now… if your going to try to influence others decisions know what you are talking about….

The file also says new game but it still shows my progress and my level. I don’t know what’s wrong with it ### 5/5 — Amaziiiiiiing😁😁 *2024-11-22* I'm surprised by how this fighting game is with all the pixels and I liked that.

If anyone remembers River City Ransom for Nintendo…not that I remember from age “ahem” 😅. It’s just like that game or for some younger gamers this has that Scott Pillgrim vibe!
