Press reviews: “A lurid, surreal (but beautifully drawn) 2D character action brawler. Like a 2D Devil May Cry riffing off the squishy stretchy art of Mommy's Best Games and Vanillaware equally.” Dominic Tarason “The title shines in its combat and its fluid and responsive movement. (...)the game encourages a more aggressive approach, with its gameplay systems that allow you to have the power to control an entire room full of varied enemies.” 8/10 – gamfm “The work done by the only developer who denotes love and competence in the genre is impressive. The game itself keeps what it promises until the end: a challenge for the player.” 7.8/10 – INDIE GAMES DEVEL 

Notes: Even though it is shown in a cartoonish manner, the game contains grotesque imageries and implications about horrid deaths. Viewer discretion is advised.
