Slap City

Best platform fighter on steam and maybe of all time.

BEST GAME EVER

super fun needs more love and players

Firstly, I wanna plug the official Discord. It's still active, and matches are really easy to find! It's even got an active tournament scene!! Check it out here: https://discord.gg/JXHwHsHa Now for the review proper -w- This is the best platform fighter of all time. It's got the schmovement and it's got the whimsy, and every character is shockingly well-balanced. I cannot emphasize enough how good this game feels to control. I have no idea what they did, but it just feels *good*. The clutch button is a stroke of inspiration. This is the only game with Clutch Technology, and it shows. Instantly reverse the momentum of certain moves?? Tech with a dedicated button?? Put up a shield that bounces you backwards?? Every aspect of this game is just sheer delight to control. It doesn't take itself seriously, and in that it's able to experiment and play. That sheer love radiates from every pixel, and it somehow makes a game that's fun and silly *and* competitively balanced. You can play as Goddess of Explosions!! Ultra Fishbunjin 3000!! Princess Remedy!!! The game of the year, every year. If you love plat fighters, this is a must-have. Give it a try!! I guarantee you'll have a blast

Slap City is a very well polished platform fighter. The characters are all very interesting, the systems have great complexity and depth, and the gamefeel is immaculate. It is a highly rewarding to get invested in and an absolute blast to play. However, I think ultimately it falls short when played more seriously. Aerials often have incredibly short total durations, allowing them to be pressed without much concern. This in combination with other systems such as clutch reversing momentum make calling out people and punishing mistakes a bit of a chore, which can often devolve into being frustrating. Overall it is a very fun game and I do recommend it, though I think its not one worth investing into at a higher level.

I can't recommend this game. The single player isn't what I was hoping it was going to be. I remember it not having so many annoying platforming sections, but that is most of what it is. The final "boss" isn't even a smash bros style fight. It's just a completely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ platforming section where you try to hit a random item on the screen, while an insane amount of various enemies, hazards, and platforms come up out of nowhere. None of this was fun. There are some collectables to find, and SOME of them will show up as a shadow before picking a level. As far as I can tell, there is no way in game to know what hidden collectables you're missing, or in which level you're supposed to be looking for them in. There is a cool tetherball kinds game mode that is as far as I can tell only in this game, but it doesn't make up for the incredibly lackluster single player mode. The local battles are alright, but have been done better in other smash clones. This is a bummer for me, as I recall this game being pretty fun earlier on. *** Although it doesn't say it on the store page, this game does work perfectly on the steam deck***

An actually good smash title and it was made as a joke.

I love the game feel, art style, soundtrack and overall personality. I just wish there was more content. each character is creatively designed in their move sets. I just wish for more

probably the best platform fighter as a full package

cruiser's delay kick, asha's heavy up and heavy air, business casual man's ledge grab and crouch walk, and Ruby's duck all made me smile and laugh. what a special smash-like <3
