Between matches they walk a lobby to pick the next opponent, and from the second match they can buy items at a food truck. There are about 50 item types. The game is planned for release on Steam for PC.","whyItMatters":"Bolting a run-based mode with item shopping and an opponent-selection lobby onto a demo gives a fighting game whose draw is hand-drawn animation a single-player loop that does not depend on a live opponent.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eSurvival Mode runs as a sequence of fights rather than a single match.
