Just completed my first run of 30 minutes. It was in the Inlaid Library with whoever is on the far right of the second row of characters.

Garlic's overrated.

Spoiler

The character you can get from the coffin here is way better!

Guns, guns, guns!

I don't care much for that Singing Plants level. At least it only has a 15-minute time limit.

At least it's so easy, that you can use it to unlock anything that requires you to use a character, and survive for 15 minutes.

Very useful for some of the more awkward characters.

I haven’t had as much time to play this game as I would’ve liked (I’ve only just unlocked the 5th base stage here on Switch), but I have played it a fair bit on Switch now and it’s very solid.  Performance is mostly a smooth 60FPS, with only really Co-op bringing about significant slowdown (and even then, it’s still far better than the old version used to be on Steam Deck; still very playable with some slowdown not really getting in the way of the fun).  They did a great job with the Switch port.

Speaking of co-op… it’s tons of fun! Each player gets a limitation on how many weapons/accessories that they can carry (this changes depending on how many players are playing, with 4 of each item in 2 player, 3 of each in 3 players and 2 of each in 4 player mode).  What makes it really interesting however is that players cannot both pick up the same item; so if one player gets the whip? No other player can have it… this means that there’s a fair bit of strategy involved as the players need to co-ordinate with each other and plan out who gets what items to maximise your team’s effectiveness.  And in a stroke of malice genius, the slot machine treasure chest randomly picks a single player to receive the spoils, so you can imagine the rage when one player scores a Fiver, while the others get nothing :laughing:

There’s some other fun wrinkles in play as well, but overall, Co-op here is a well thought out addition that is executed very well.  Strongly recommended! :D

On the subject of DLC, how good is this!?:

Bloody good, that's how good. :cool:

 

You know what’s even better than that? The new version of that song that got included in the latest update…

;)

I was very upset when the game was released and had a Switch Menu icon that didn't have the bloody title on it.
I'm a stickler for that kind of thing, in case you didn't know.

So much so, that I tweeted Poncle Games, hinting that the game would be perfect if it had a good icon.

Well, lo and behold. Game got an update, and...

Now if only Sonic Mania would follow suit...

I need/want to get back into this game. Hopefully I don't work about 16 hours today (like yesterday...) so that I can get some games in before Ahsoka comes on.

The Devs had a Reddit AMA recently. I asked them if the rumor I read was true -- and yes it was. We'll be getting an animated series based on the game.
