    Whoa...with the way Nintendo's pay structure operates, I don't think these guys are gonna get paid. I hope they have some toast to munch on....

    Wow, Fahey.


    I happen to disagree. I liked the little game. I wanted to love it, and couldn't, but there is an enjoyable

    "old Neo Geo arcade game" quality to the game and it's nice dumb fun. I'm kinda surprised that you didn't mention the throw mechanism, which adds a little bit of a twist to the gameplay (you can throw enemies, other players and even some bullets to deflect them).


    You're mostly right on the facts, but I feel that the game can still manage to be enjoyable and overcome its shortcomings.


    My biggest gripe is the lack of online multiplayer :(

    Wow, thanks for the review. I was hoping the game would live up to its title, but apparently...


    To be honest, I was almost sold on the game based on the title and screenshots alone (only "almost" - I always check out reviews, even for small downloadable games).

    It looks like you saved me 800 points and minutes (I wouldn't say hours) of disappointment.


    And it's not like I have nothing else to play - quite the contrary, in fact.

    You know, this is kind of a funny coincidence, but I'm watching Brave Little Toaster right now.


    ...It's a lot darker than I remembered.

    @excel_excel: We're Back? Was that the movie? The main thing I remember about that one was how stupid it was. Even back as a kid I thought a movie about time traveling dinosaurs who eat cartoon cereal to become smart and snarf hotdogs and join a circus was completely retarded.


    ...I wonder if I can find it online.

    Ouch. I had been thinking about this one but I think I'll save my points. It makes me sad, though, to see a cute and original idea like this end up flopping right on its face. Brutal Legend can't get here fast enough now.

    So I imagine the pitch went like this:


    "Alright, what is this game about."


    "Well... You like toasters right?"


    "Yes? I do enjoy toast"


    "And you like samurais as well?"


    "Yes. Where are you going with this?"


    "What if we combined them?"


    "Holy Shit"

    The pitch for this game probably went like this.


    "So what's this game about?"


    "Well you like toasters right?"


    "I do enjoy toast..."


    "You like samurais too?"


    "Yes sir"


    "Imagine if we combined them and then gave the character a name like Eduardo."


    "Holy Shit."

    @ironraiden: Here's two:

    1. Weapon of Choice

    2. Biology Battle


    They both kick the crap out of this game. Don't get me wrong I see this as a good thing, if this game can become successful, my 2D side scrolling shooter "Pablo the Mexican Microwave" shall be a raging success.
