Age Recommendations

ℹ️Ages 3-5
Not recommended — gameplay is fast, reaction‑based and includes cartoonized combat that is likely too intense/confusing for this age.
ℹ️Ages 6-8
Use with parental supervision, especially for older 7–8 year olds. Cartoon violence is mild, but the pace and difficulty can frustrate younger kids.
ℹ️Ages 9-12
Generally appropriate for most kids. Fun arcade action, customization and light progression — parents may want to set time limits and discuss subscription access.
ℹ️Ages 13-15
Suitable — low content risk and engaging progression; encourage healthy playtime habits.
ℹ️Ages 16-18
Suitable — teens will enjoy the challenge and customization; minimal content concerns.
