Value puts it in the top 9 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 78 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 91 percent. On the same math Boomerang Fu ($14.99, scores 84) and Ultimate Chicken Horse ($14.99, scores 89) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

What players say

This is one of the best, yet simplest couch multiplayers I have played. I cannot reccomend this enough!

I enjoy the 1 player arcade mode. Very addicting and a fun way to pass some time.

The playerbase is dead, and getting this going with friends locally or online isn't really worth your time unless all parties are into the competitive side of it (in my experience). There's just a terminal lack of content for $15 honestly. 5/10, killed by unfortunate circumstances.
