Nah

Awsome game

Broken achievements, Terrible controller support. Bottom line this game sucks!!!

This is so cute >_< feel free to play this game after work thats was fun!!

Controls? Please? Like, why is my enter the A button? xD And why can't I change the controls? xD But..it's pretty good graphics..really, I would really really love if I could control the characters and play with the right buttons, but until then it's a thumbs down c:

A mindless side scroller shooter game. Very poor PC port and the controls are hard to master. Suitable for small kids though. Please take note that one of the achievements is not working.

[u] Summary: [/u] A poor port of a game that's missing one of the basic mechanics you need in a shoot em up: fun. While having an interesting premise and some cool character designs all around, the game fails to deliver as levels are way too easy at times and literally lack any sort of oompf to them whatsoever. The game's graphics could use improvement overall, but the bigger problem comes when character designs clash against the background in terms of being able to see enemies and or bullets against it. Honestly, I can go on here about what the game did wrong, and what the game needs, but in the end: it isn't fun, and that's a major problem for a game that's attempting to get your attention, in particular in this genre. It lacks the energy and the execution needed to really stand out. [b] Gameplay and Video First Impressions: http://youtu.be/KnxvsW6Ky10[/b] [u]Lists:[/u] +: [list] [*] Some good character designs, in particular with boss monsters, and using the material of ice cream/veggies well. [*] Cute premise and could work well with kids. Audio of characters are fine and reasonably well done. Was unexpected [*] Different characters play differently with a reasonable change up in what they do. [/list] -: [list] [*] Lacks a fun factor. Boring, repetitive, and down right just meh. [*] The game's inconsistencies within its world and gameplay will show up right away, whether it be attempting to pick up a powerup only to find you have to shoot it first, or what you are fighting. A very uneven experience. [*] Minimal effort to port. Coop players score elements show up here, controls for controller don't bind themselves naturally to industry standards, and frankly transitions to other parts of the game are down right awkward. [*] The environment clashes with gameplay at times which is a huge problem. Don't put the same shades of white in the background and on enemies that you are expecting people to see without any issue. [*] Specials lack oompf in several cases, and feel like a waste. In one or two instances, I died when an uncontrollable special happened (which seems like a prime reason not to use it.). [*] 1 Achievement that literally was given when starting the game. If you're not going to use them, don't bother with them, you don't have to have them on Steam. [*] Weird inconsistency in player models from character to character without anything to counterbalance it. [*] Crackers in bikinis are just weird. I may be a horrible person for thinking this, but it stand out against the kiddish nature of everything else.
