The result is a chaotic but charming experience that blends elements of beat-’em-up gameplay, light strategy, and crowd management into a colorful and energetic adventure.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The art style chosen might not be for me as I just found it more awkward, like mix-and-matching two things which just shouldn't go together.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
On the bad side however the keyboard and mouse controls aren't great, and sure in the game it does say its best played with a controller but I doubt it'd be much better, the main problem is the camera and controlling the animals overall, I've played top down shooters that do it better so I know whats right but it isn't too much of a problem I guess.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Although the story is presented in a playful and lighthearted manner, it subtly touches on themes of protest, resistance, and standing up against oppressive authority.
