    Was never a huge PPG fan but my little sister was (she's 23 now). Regardless, this looks awesome. Will definitely be picking this up with Godfire tonight.

    Does this have MFi support? I'd check myself but my nephew has my MOGA...

    I ran into a bug where I fell through the floor about 3 seconds into the game, but it was a problem easily solved and I can tell that I'm going to like this a lot.

    If you like any other Radian game get this. Layout is the same as all of the twin sticks. I highly recommend to anyone. You by no means need to be a Power Puff girl fan. This is another great game by Radian. Cheers

    I'm willing to bet he didn't get very far into the game. In typical metroidvania style, you start out not being able to do much. You walk around, can't jump, can't attack, etc. You quickly gain the ability to punch, but that isn't really what the game is about. A few minutes in you should have the ability to fly, and then a few minutes later, you will gain the ability to fire projectiles when you punch. At this point is where the real gameplay starts to take shape, and it's a lot of fun. It's basically a shooter focused on exploration, where you are continuously upgrading your powers (there is also customization through equipable "boosters"). I recommend this to anyone who likes the sound of a metroidvania shooter.

    I second everything Royce said.
    It's great fun, and the exploration and slow progression in powerups is very metroidvania-like.
    I've never heard of Powerpuff Girls, but. I enjoy the game very much.

    Worth every penny.

    I just downloaded it and I can confirm it has MFi support. Playing it with my MOGA now.

    By reading the comments I gather that this is not a kids game? Never heard of the powerpuff girls, but I thought it was a kids cartoon and the game would be likewise..

    I think it's pretty much all ages friendly.

    Thank you!!

    And of course, he had to give it back to me completely dead... so I can't check it out til I get back from work. =oP

    But I am enjoying this VERY MUCH. I've only reached the second area, but there's still a few things in the first area I need to go back and get... eventually...

    I'm going to wait until I unlock the other options after you beat it or whatever and play those before I decide where to throw it up on my favorites of the year, but the fact that it's already being talked about being thrown up into that list after just about 30 minutes of gameplay should be a pretty good sign. =oP

    Is that so strange.? The last time I actively watched cartoons must have been in the mid eighties , so that's almost 30 years ago. Also keep in mind that I am not American or English so chanes are the cartoons were aired much later.

    Sorry - I do have one question -

    is there an option to turn the auto aiming off? There's been times - there's tons of enemies right behind me and my character will not turn around - but will instead keep shooting at a wall...
