Dash: Both are able to perform a short midair dash.After pleading to the Devil to keep their souls, he told them to go after his escaped debtors and collect their soul contracts for him.

Originally looking quite angular, Nolan’s softer, curvier Felix began to appear in the mid-1920s. Debate still surrounds who originally created Felix, Australian-born animator and studio head Pat Sullivan or in-house animator Otto Messmer. Considered the world’s first animated star, Felix made his debut in the animated short 'Feline Follies' in 1919. Bill Nolan first created and perfected the style in the mid-1920s with his re-design of Felix the Cat. Characters were often drawn with long flowing curves and elastic limbs, having no articulation at their wrists or elbows. To achieve this iconic style authentically Studio MDHR relied on a rubbery bouncy animation style known as ‘rubber-hose animation’. Enemies players encounter include a towering cigar with a sinister grin, giant angry flowers, fireflies and of course, the malevolent ruler of Inkwell Hell himself, the Devil. Utilising 2D side-scroller and run-and-gun gameplay to emulate such classics as Mega Man and the Contra series, the game’s aesthetics are inspired by surrealist cartoons of the 1930s.
