Quotes
- “It’s that desire to dress up like a demented, googly-eyed Animal Crossing character and blow everything up. I have it. You have it? Tell me it’s not just me.”
Destructoid - “This is an immediately inviting game, thanks to its “cute rioter” aesthetic, simple combat controls, and bubbly animations. Its full-screen chaos evokes the best memories of Rampage’s arcade city-destruction system.”
