While I may like the game itself, the biggest reason why I'm giving it a negative review is because of the gay agenda it be pushing. I had like 5 encounters where the game made some gay reference when it was just so unnecessary. The 1st time was when the main character otto got an anonymous love letter and it told him to go up to the rooftop to meet the writer and a guy named Boris was there and otto thought he was the one who wrote the letter for him. Implying that otto supports gay people.
The 2nd time was when the teacher ma'kako wanted to take care of otto's request before he misses a tv episode where a guy named don miguel might confess his love for luís. Basically a male confessing his love for another male.
The 3rd time was when a male NPC found otto cute and wanted to have a friendly competition with him. And after otto beats him, he asks otto if he could get his number.
The 4th time was when there were these 2 girls on the rooftops and if you talk to them, one of them will tell you to go away and the other girl will say, "I told you this was a bad spot for a date."
And then the last 5th time, it's a throwback to the first one. When you help Boris find his sister, he tells you, "I'll grant you ONE favor from the school's toughest dude." and after he says that, you have the option to ask him on a date. And I don't even know what happens if you select that because when I try to look online and find a video on it, everyone just selects the other option which is, "Give us your 100% in our match tomorrow!" (which makes sense really). But nonetheless, this game really does allow you to make otto become a gay kid which is very messed up to say the least.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong but, I have a feeling this game also has the T agenda in it because... there are unisex bathrooms in here. Like there are doors that has this half male and half female logo on them which means both males & females can go in at the same time. I don't see any other reason for this game to have them other than the devs not wanting transgenders to get judge for going into the wrong bathroom. But yeah, just something to keep in mind I guess.
Now, aside from all that rainbow stuff, another issue I have with this game are some of its features. For starters, the food. This stuff is so freaking useless that I'm surprised the devs didn't give us more of them for free. 'Cause who would spend their hard-earned money on some food when they could use it to buy equipment and drinks that permanently upgrade their team? Now I know the food is cheap and all but still. Going to the nurse to heal your whole team is far more beneficial than to eat some food and then go & buy some more. Especially in the long run.
And speaking upon that, why does balloony no longer heal the team after a battle? Like after you get mina on your team, he says he will longer heal the team and he doesn't even tell you why. Nor does otto ask why. Like the devs don't even try to give an excuse! They just outright make balloony stop! I understand y'all want to make the player play with all of the characters but come on.
And about the characters, why are they always behind me? Like when I'm in a match, my teammates would just stand behind me and do nothing. They don't even become AI or anything. Just outright useless. To make matters worse, they can get hit by dodgeballs. The devs allow them to get hit for no dang reason. At that point, they're better off just having them stand on the sidelines and then come in once the player on the field is out. Heck, they did it in the first episode so why don't they do it again?
Now don't get me wrong, this game does have some charm. It has cool characters (sort of), nice art, good music, a clever story, and some pretty cool gameplay. But unless they fix some of these game issues and remove the gay agenda, I'm gonna have to give it a thumbs down.

This game has everything except a soul. It does get repetitive, the dodge ball games, but it feels like the game has no soul like Teen titians go. Its like a tv show on cartoon network, but the newer bad ones, not like "billy and mandy" or "courage the cowardly dog"
