Trailer: In the first trailer, you can already get an impression of the game:
More gameplay can be found in the new video, where the Smash pros NAKAT and VoiD compete against the developers and visibly have fun. We embed the video here:
This is what the viewers say: We looked at the reactions of the viewers in the latest video where the pros play against the devs. There is a lot of praise for the gameplay. However, there is also some criticism regarding certain aspects that players want improved before release.
Players praise the attention to detail when characters like Tom or Shaggy let out their typical screams when they are defeated.
- “Tom & Jerry have some of the best, coolest animations. It’s really like they are just trying to fight each other. That’s great.”
- “I really hope this game is successful. Free-to-play crossplay with rollback netcode is a big step […].”
- “The ring-out animations, the voice lines of the characters, the combos, and even the entire aesthetic of the look and lobby music down to the taunts the characters throw at each other in battle are amazing. I love how consistent Tony is with the community on updates and is working hard to bring this game to life. Keep it up! I can’t wait to enjoy it as much as this gameplay test as a video.”
On the other hand, criticism is directed at the fall animations, which viewers say look more like sailing in the video and should become faster.
