: Is the game any good?

I didn't intend for my quotations to imply it was in poor taste. But the suit is lifted straight from Halo in a way that actually made me question whether it was officially licensed (there are legit crossover characters in the game) or parody played so straight as to make you question if it was really parody or not (the official Fable 2 crossover stuff comes to mind).

For the record, it isn't officially licensed, despite the almost exact design of the armor, as well as the lift of the Halo theme, and the direct reference to Halo 3 with the achievement. Again, this isn't a bad thing; I just find it all a bit odd since the other unofficial cameos are different enough from the source material in their usage as to be obvious parody...except maybe the Ryu one. He straight up uses his moveset from Street Fighter and the background music is straight up Ryu's theme.

Anyways, the game is fantastic imo. You have to have a lot of patience to learn the levels, because it is very much a trial and error game. Think Super Meat Boy meets Spelunky.

I will record the unlock vidor for everyone tomorrow as well. It's pretty funny, and one of the only costume cutscenes where Aban is excited to cosplay.
