    I just picked this game up. After watching the beginning of the quicklook I was sold. I've only scratched the surface and played about 30 minutes of it but I already can only think "Holy shit this is fantastic". Most would be doing themselves a disservice to overlook this.

    Too bad the Cute anthroanimals are made by a bad artist.

    The game is preeeetty goddamn awesome though, love the fluidity of the gameplay and animation.

    Enemies are way too passive, as well as the combat flows it feels like a 2D Dynasty Warriors when hordes of enemies just eat your five different combos and beg for more. I'm 60% in on Tough, I doubt the difficulty level matters though.

    I just like the fact that one of the many indie games made by one dude isn't using pixel art for a change. XD

    And yes, I can think of others. Shhh.

    @WilliamRLBaker: Dude, animation can be fluid no matter what the artstyle is. I think it looks good in motion, but I think the characters look bad. Well, Dust and his squirrel looks alright but 99% of the characters look like complete ass.

    eh It just seems that the sign of a bad artist is bad art where in animation this includes its fluidity. and I would have to disagree the characters look on-par with dust and fidget.

    If you think the two are mutually exclusive, you obviously don't remember Xiao Xiao.

    @WilliamRLBaker: Alright I can see that point, but calling him an bad artist was both quicker and more effective in defining my feelings for the art. let's call the artstyle and to some extent the character design bad.

    Oh and I don't really feel like Dust or Fidget are a LOT better looking. Just slightly. Most likely because you don't really see Dusts face and Fidget is a bit more animal than everyone else.
