Early Access Review
The Good:

An excellent multiplayer experience that hearkens back to the lively days of Nintendo couch co-op playing Super Smash Bros. or Super Mario Kart
Fast and frantic racing-style gameplay that constantly sees twists and turns as far as who is in the lead
Outlandish and colorful characters and maps that really complement the ecclectic nature of the game
Power-ups are an absolute riot with constant changes to the way the player moves through the level
My personal favorite was the grappling hook, which grabs the closest player to you and throws him backwards, hilarity quickly ensuing
Controls are very tight and responsive, which is crucial in a platforming game of this nature
Animation and physics are spot-on and help convey the sense of motion and weight to the characters
Graphics are sharp and vibrant, which are very welcome in a 2D game
Maps are intricately made with what appears to be a pain-staking attention to detail
Turbo generators, swing-able ceiling tiles, lasers, and buzz-saws are a some of the well placed items in a map that can make or break your “speed run”
Current content on this “Early Access” title is more than enough to have a good time with your Steam friends, but the promise of more content updates just sweetens the pot on this game
Active developers that constantly respond and engage their audience in the development of the game
Primarily in the Steam Forums

The Bad:

The good times had while playing the game is diminished when playing without friends you know, but that’s not to say it still isn’t fun

Can you play it while the children are awake?:

Absolutely. In fact, I played it with my 7 year old and had a blast!

Did I make time to complete it?:

With a multiplayer-based game, completion isn’t really a question. Did I have a blast playing numerous races with my friends? Yes. Do I foresee myself doing so again in the future? Absolutely.

Redlight or Greenlight?:

A most definite Green light on this one. green

The great times already had with this title make it worth picking up now

Recommended Purchase Price:

$9.99
