The verdict
A cute, chaotic physics brawler that shines with friends and is great for laughs. Skip it if you want solo play, local co-op, or you're in Russia, or if AI art controversies and monetization bother you.
Great for
Groups of friends or families who want silly, chaotic, cute-animal brawls and quick party sessions
