The  game solely uses the Wii Remote for play, with players gesturing the controller to perform directional attacks as well as dashes and jumps. Other player movement is automatically controlled by the computer. Reception. "Nintendo Life" criticized a number of aspects of the game including the controls, the "fatally broken" gameplay and the misuse of the "Ottifanten" license, ultimately calling it "a shambling mockery of a game". "Official Nintendo Magazine" rated the game at 6%, making it their lowest scored review ever. Like "Nintendo Life", they criticized the controls, claiming that they were "the worst ever."
