Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
the gameplay is very fluid, fast and fun. the 2 characters available at the current moment (slugger and artist) offer very unique takes on the genre, the animation is very fluid for such an early build, and the stages look good.

The art style is good, the only criticism i can give to it is that characters blend to well with the map.
