Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Either there were characters missing (sure, Lizzy is great, but who the heck wants to play as boring ol' George, especially when the wolfman, RALPH, is available!?... except... when he ISN'T for some reason??

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
It's gameplay is rather satisfying though bare bones it allows for experimentation which is fun for about two hours.
53 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
There's co-op, and four monsters to choose from, whose only difference is their appearance and ultimate ability.

Pixel graphics are spectacularly detailed, and monster designs are as cute as they could be.

Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
on steamdeck, some MASSIVE performance issues after a few moments of play when around tall buildings until i go close to the top of the towerblock that's seemingly causing it, which presumably are due to the physics simulations going a bit wonky on larger buildings, given how it seems to constantly have to do a "deturbulating simulation" after every level.

Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
Remember, how i was playing it as arcade, when we went to swimming class and then we could spend few minutes playing in lobby.
