ABOUT THE GAME:

Chop the tentacles of a Kraken-like monster, perform complex combos, slides, and dash attacks. Defeat mini-bosses and peel the skin off up to the skull of giant and powerful main enemies. Join the intense action to discover many different areas to unlock, with funky names like Nacho Island ruled by a Salsa General. Complete all stages with the best time, combo count, and all of the coins in your pocket. Grab collectibles and throwable items that will aid you in battle. Swim and attack underwater (beware of bloodthirsty fish!), dash over spiky obstacles, and try not to harm any kittens in the process (well, you can and theres no penalty, but its definitely heartbreaking). Finally, overcome the Demon King!
