Awesome soundtrack, incredibly stylish game.In terms of gameplay, it's basically a twin-stick shooter which is naturally best enjoyed with a gamepad. There looks to be (IMO) a lot of replayability in terms of mastery of the levels. Very reminiscent of Towerfall, another game I loved.I've made it through the first 3 worlds so far, really looking forward to more of the single player campaign and trying out the local multiplayer.Can't recommend buying the version with the OST enough if you like electronica\/dubstep!. The plastic flying disc originated as an improvised use of pie tin lids with one popular pie and cookie chain lending it's name to the generic term for the item (which we wont be mentioning here). In any case it's pretty certain that neither the early pioneers, the trade mark holders or partipcants in the ubiquitous college sport "Ultimate [redacted]" had realised the full potential of the flying disc as a versatile weapon.XMPT games have stepped up and filled that gap, one part damaging projectile, one part deflective shield and one part useful item to trigger things the flying disc is used to it's full potential in the pixelart adventure. Using speed, agility and 3 circular pieces of plastic a range of heroes must defeat hordes of minions, and bosses for some reason that probably isn't important.With a cool retro style, core mechanics somewhat reminiscent of speedball and a host of level specific special rules I'd reccomend everyone to quit playing catch and start creating some kind of large weather patern of plastic circular things.. Seems to have a pretty fun single player mode...controls are smooth game has a qiuck pace and decent music. Can't wait to try it out mp.11-4-2015Upon further review I am not so excited about multiplayer. I tried it out vs the ai. It has a 3 star to win a match system where it swaps modes\/maps each round. It randomly selects each, you cannot pick what mode\/gametype you want. Game needs more options..

After 1 hour of playing the game I still haven't managed to kill the first boss!Art- The Character designs and general overall look of the game is absolutely beautiful. Bugs - Haven't noticed any bugs yet, the one thing I would say which itsn't necersarilly a bug is that during the first boss fight it can be difficult to reclaim your discs when adds are upSound - The Soundtrack of the game is beautiful and well worth the extra price, It's been in my head since i bought this game!Gameplay - Overall the gameplay is very fun! I play on mouse and keyboard but I imagine that it'll be even more fun to play on a controller.I look forward to the possibility of Online Co-Op Well done all!. Well polished. Playing it on keyboard is insane but fun! I wonder how an online multiplayer could work for it.. It seems so simple, throw some discs around and dodge some enemies. After spending 3 hours trying to finish the first level in the campaign I had to give up and take a break. I am clearly not as skilled as I assumed I was, I needed some time to re-eveluate life choices and check where I went wrong. This game is a very entertaining challenge for me, I'm hooked on it and picking it right back up after I finish writing this review!The gameplay is very smooth. I'm personally playing using keyboard and mouse but I really should get myself a controller for this. The art and music are very well done, and they blend in perfectly to add to that all-important gameplay, and really help to stay motivated.Also, I can't wait to get some friends round and test the multiplayer on this, I foresee some very interesting chaos!
