As it is based off of CDX Heroes: Brawl and Kirby Fighters, hence the name, players can play as any of the 12 characters of Homestar Runner.

Many of the moves of the characters are recycled from Brawl, though some were removed for undisclosed reasons.

== Development ==
Before CDX Heroes: Brawl released to the general public, CDX Software and Videlectrix were brainstorming an idea to make a Homestar Runner game series, and their first idea was a Kirby Fighters-esque game, but with Strong Bad and everyone else as the main image. To that end, they established Scrambled Entertainment to oversee development of Homestar games. As the coronavirus began to spread across the world, the development team had to work from home, which also caused the game to be delayed. Most of the game was completed. 
== Release ==
Originally planned to be released on May 15, the pandemic caused the game to be delayed. On September 15, CDX announced that the game would be released on November 10, serving as a launch title for the Xbox Series X/S. Images of the game were leaked, and someone came to notice that there was no version of the game for the PlayStation 5 in sight. CDX stated that they have no plans to port the game to the PS5 in the future.
== Sequels and franchise ==
The game is the first in a series by the name of Strong Bad's Arcade. It will consist of this game, re-releases of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, an endless runner game for mobile devices, and other stuff. The game's first, true sequel, Strong Bad Fighters Deluxe, will be released in 2021.
