Kung-Fu Bunnies! What's not to love?

Have only pushed part way through the demo, but this thing is tough. And cool.

Despite what it says, the demo seems to have at least bit of the campaign mode available. Just click on the "village" marker on the map after the tutorial to get started.

A word of warning though, this is not Rabbit Kombat. If you try to charge in "feet blazing" as it were, expect to become hasenpfeffer. The control scheme does take a bit of getting used to, but it's one where you can actually feel yourself getting better at it -- either that or they've got some funky self-adapting AI so that I don't feel like a complete klutz all the time. You can use your environment, and it won't be long before you find yourself sizing up the terrain to see if there's things you can wall-jump from or good places to hide and sneak up. With the variety of environments there are also a variety of lighting. But the dark is dark and there's no gamma option to help you out. Fighting in that is not fun, but at least it was quick.

The adventure mode seems to consist of go to a place, talk to everyone there, get into a fight, go to the next place, etc. However, this is only the demo (and I'm only part way through) so perhaps things open up later. However, considering how well-done the fighting is, I certainly don't mind.

There's also no multiplayer option, which in my opinion would make this thing terribly cool. Maybe in the sequel?

At any rate, well worth a look, and this will probably be my first purchase from Manifesto.

And c'mon.. bunnies that do wall-jump attacks.. how can you go wrong?
