While short (I 100%'d it in like, 8-10 hours), it is one of the best arcade games to date. There's multiple references to other arcade games like Braid or Super Meat Boy, crude humor referencing known franchises (like Wall Chickens, from Castlevania) and plenty of jokes and easter eggs; that combined with a good story (not amazing writing, but not bad by any means) and a very solid gameplay with simple but brutal combos. Likeable and pleasant art style, and great characters.
And the fact that the game was made by a single person is even more amazing.
