So this is like a Super Smash Bros. type of game? I like the cardboard-look to the setting.

This game has been posted here all this time? I went looking for a video and found nothing but a blog post where the guy who made it didn't give it a ringing endorsement

Wow, even he said it sucks. I'll still try it though. Looks interesting.

I don't personally like this game or consider it worth playing, and I gave it an honest shot. The art style is very nice, and I love the fact that it's all a facade, but the limited control and bad level design make what looks like a unique and creative experience into just another 'stand next to this guy and press attack' game.
