No issues /w triple monitor setup since I use separate X screens ..like a real man.

What Pedro said
P-
-
Game starts in Fullscreen mode and sets my monitors to clone each other.
-
I had to manually rearrange my monitors, because even after changing to windowed mode it kept the clone setting.

Shiny / Sounds

Love the art style. It’s like a Double Fine brawler
-
Sounds are there but FFS the grunts
J-
-
Didn’t care for the music and was nursed by the dulcet voice of Chuck Schuldiner
-
I like the play gimmick, and some of the stagehands got a chuckle out of me
P-
-
Art style choice I could dig. The whole stage metaphor made literal is clever and something I could definitely get behind.
-
Repetitious music, ½ a second of voice acting and the same grunts constantly coming out from the enemies/your character.

OOTB /w the Xclone

It notified and made a point out of giving me a choice to properly configure my controller
-
And it also recognized it properly!

FUN
V-
-
The first 20 minutes are a bit of alright.
-
Really like the audience health meter gimik.
-
I was hoping multi-player would save it but it’s just more of the same.
J-
-
This game is brutally repetitive. Same three or four enemies for what seems like an eternity
-
Haven’t had a chance to try out multiplayer yet
P-
-
It is a fun brawler, if you find a video or podcast to play in the background in such a way as to not have to listen to the grunting and the same 5-second BGM loop.
