Paw Paw Paw is a fun side-scrolling beat-em-up game set in the woods, with sword-n-shield based combat and lots of unlockables. The game follows a maverick group of woodland animals who have rebelled against a corrupt(ed) king, and refused to be forced to wear trousers. Experience the joys of 2D characters walking about in a world with X, Y and Z coordinates and use different weapon types for tactically different gameplay.

What we like:
  • Lots of unlockables
  • Rideable creatures and other characters to play
  • XP maintained when you die so no need to start from scratch
  • Different weapon types for each character mixes up tactics
  • Super cute visuals with violent combat
What could be improved:
  • Clumsy trying to align with equally flat enemies
  • Getting the first few combos unlocked is a lengthy process
  • Hitboxes are very inconsistent
  • Balance is all over the place
