With that said... i really liked the gameplay, i had a lot of fun coming back to it and looking at the other reviews it wouldn't seem like there's any glaring issue i'm failing to notice.

The special move bars on the bottom right of your screen will also show which buttons to click on your keyboard/controller, too if you wanted.
