TLDR: 

  • Stunning aesthetic

  • Interesting variety of maps

  • Good selection of weapons, but some are underwhelming

  • Needs optimisation

  • Empty servers


How to play

  • Free to play

  • Play it on Epic


Game Loop

  • There are 3 different modes to the current game

  • But before you pick a mode, you need to select and dress your rabbit

  • Playing as free play you do not have any cosmetics, so whilst you can pick the rabbit colour, you will be playing in underpants and socks

  • If you own one of the rabbits or cosmetics you can mix and match to match your rabbit look how you want

  • Now that you have the rabbits how you want them, you can select your game mode

  • In all of the game modes, you are playing in the third person or rabbit.

  • The first mode is a hangout mode, where you get to run around the city and bonk Zacbots on the head whilst exploring

  • The next mode is the Anarchy mode

  • This is a free-for-all deathmatch

  • There are several maps for you to play in each with its own theme

  • Each map is also played on several dimensions thanks to your double jump and the launch pads, allowing you to scale the buildings

  • Around the maps, you find a variety of weapons, ranging from swords to toilet plunger sniper rifles

  • You can also collect grenades, explosives, and firebombs to add to the carnage

  • In total, you can carry 3 weapons and a throwable

  • Your health is represented by a carrot, which gets “eaten” as you lose health.

  • The carrot is replenished by finding carrots spread around the map

  • Anarchy mode runs until the time is up or until someone reaches 20 kills

  • The final mode is coinpocolyapse

  • In this mode, you need to collect as many rabbit-shaped coins as possible without getting killed

  • If you do get killed you drop 10 coins

  • Other than that the gameplay was the same as the anarchy mode

  • During all the modes as you get kills, blow things up, or complete a game you earn XP which levels you bunny up.

  • These level-ups unlock additional cosmetic options for you


Game feel

  • I like the aesthetic of the game, having all the weapons comedy violence themed works well, for example, the minigun is an oversized Nerf gun

  • With a lot of the map being destructible, and explosive for the most part, it added to the chaotic feel of the game

  • The fact that you couldn't pick which hotkey was which gun was a bit annoying as I like to arrange my weapons in the same place when playing

  • I did find that the maps probably weren't that well optimized as even after turning down the graphics it had issues in place, and my rig is no slouch

  • The movement with the double jump, skateboard, and launch pads made the maps feel more dynamic

  • The spawns were a little frustrating as you could spawn on top of other players

  • The range of modes was okay, but I didn't particularly find any value in the hang-out mode

  • Collecting the coins was an interesting way to change the focus, however, due to the map sizes at times you could almost completely ignore the players and just find coins around the edges of the map

Coolecting coins in my pet hooligan
  • In the vast majority of the games, I wasn't playing against any other humans which was disappointing.

  • It is good to have bots, as it means I could test out the game, but it is difficult to get a true feeling of the game without other humans. I think this would be a quick turn-off for anyone who randomly finds the game on epic

  • I also found it a little frustrating that you could see people’s nameplates from across the other side of the map, meaning you could just hunt people down, which reduced any strategic aspect


Rating

  • Love the style of the guns and the overall aesthetic

  • Disappointingly low player base

  • Guns handled well

  • The vertical movement creates a more dynamic map

  • It is a recommend but with a caveat that you’d need to find your own players.

enjoyed, would recommend rating

Web3 integration

  • The rabbits are NFTs on eth
