I've only just began to scratch the surface with this one, but basically it's a tag team fighter with crazy SP gauge shenanigans that force you to switch between your two characters a lot even at very low standards of play.

The visuals are nice, especially the Halloween inspired alternate backgrounds that they use whenever somebody enters the metaworld. Most of the soundtrack really suits the tone of the game's setting, but I'm probably going to change some of the songs for something a little faster (I could fall asleep to "happiness of marionette").

Interesting mechanics:
- A character only charges their partner's SP gauge (goes from 0-5)

- When you tag the character you tagged out grants their inbound partner a unique ability

- The metaworld is you can enter for 1SP that gives you a new super that doesn't use SP and both your character's abilities, but only one player can be in it at a time

- Entering the metaworld gives you a frame advantage(!) and can be used to extend combos. Demonstration of this from Nico on Youtube.
