    Everything from the designs and linework to the VHS colour palette and the yellow subtitles is so on point for the aesthetic they're going for, but I feel like the parts which are running at 60fps actually detract from it since they feel unnaturally smooth next to the models being animated at the (proper) lower frame rate (24fps?).

      Honestly, I like the style choice to run the characters at a different framerate than the rest of the game. I think it wouldn't look true to form if they were also 60fps (and I tend to shy away from cartoon games as they never felt right) and the entire game playing at a lower framerate wouldn't be acceptable these days.

      Looks neat, but ultimately I'll never play it because it's a Switch title and I won't own one.

        Fair enough! I think the requirement for 2 players is going to be the hurdle for me, although judging by the success of the Hazelight games, I expect there's a market for this genre.

    Looks beautiful! I don't get enough of an impression of gameplay from this to know if I'd play it but they sure nailed the visual style
