- Someone put MegaMan music in my hockey game.
- This reminds me of NES sports and that’s not a bad thing.
- It’s dead simple and hard to cock up.
- On easy it’s a proper challenge.
- Cutting the blood up to 500% is, cute.
- Has a battle mechanic like the old basketball fighting game.
- Lot’s of mutators to tinker with but some have to be unlocked.
- No online multiplayer :(
- It’s alright and a safe thing to try because you will know if it’s your JAM in the first five minutes.

- Man I fucking hate this game
- I like how the AI has all it’s shit together while your team is derptastic
- Honestly I’ve never really got the appeal of sports games. I haven’t played too many of them
- This is not one that changes my mind in any capacity
- Pedro
- I hate sports games.
- I thought maybe, with its focus on the goofy stuff and the emphasis on violence, may I could find something to enjoy here.
- I didn’t.
- It’s hipster pixel hockey game with perhaps the most annoying soundtrack I’ve heard since Pawarumi. Minus points for reminding me of that game!
- The only so called sports games I enjoy are racing ones and even then I draw the line on F1 games.
- Don’t like it. Didn’t change my mind on the genre and got itself muted pretty damn quickly.
