Saw that game on Vinesauce not too long ago. If that version was close to the final product, it doesn't look very fun to play to be honest.
They made absurd unskippable flashy animations for powering up, which happen every time. Imagine if Mario needed mushrooms every 10 seconds, and that animation was about 3 times longer.
Also the beginning of the game has a tutorial guy literally appearing and interrupting the action at least a dozen times to tell you how to jump/fight and what the various items do. It looks very much like a simple platform beat'm up.
Some power up items can't even be used at the time you find them/with the character you chose, but they still drop, and trying to pick those up by mistake also interrupts the game to tell you so. Every time.
