My warmest recommendations of this game! It's fun, the combat is spot on and the humor and characters are insanely lovable.

I'm probably just not into the genre in general. I tried it, I have nothing to complain about, and still I don't find it engaging at all.

I'm absolutely not a fan of furry combat platformers. If it wasn't for TotalBiscuit's video in addition to friends owning it, I'd passed it up. After having played it, I enjoy the combat a lot and the characters are absolutely lovable. Not gotten that far yet, just 4-5 hours in, but I'm liking it a lot.

Yeah.... as for characters being lovable... I don't know I find this brown little creature wimpy and annoying - not funny at all. And the sword - saying banal things as though they were gems of wisdom. To think about that it looks like the target audience is kids not adults. (No offence to your experience, just considering the title itself) I remember people saying that Dora the Explorer is stupid. It is not stupid it's just target audience for it is not adults.

A high recommendation from me as well. There is something about this game that's really special. Characters are great and combat is quite engaging.

Maybe it's a question of different tastes? I'm generally inclined to think the way you do. Comic relief sidekicks usually annoy the everliving crap out of me, but Fidget manages to hit that sweet spot where she's funny, yet not annoying enough to actually be annoying.


Or maybe I'm just in love enough with the gameplay to just accept the rest subconsciously :P

This game consumed most of my playtime over the last several weeks.  I've beaten it, but I plan on playing till I complete everything.  It's one of the best games I've played all year.

It's like someone decided to hack my monitor to increase the saturation and make it off focus.

EDIT: Oh god, those voices. Something's wrong when I'd prefer it being text only.

Some like it, some don't. Me, I actually liked the voice acting. Way better than some AAA titles I've played, and definitely good for being an indie. Though some might not like Fidget :P

I think the voice acting is some of the best I've ever heard in a video game.  To me, it perfectly matches the cartoon visuals.
