Hey hey Fav, congrats on the new update! Its been fun being able to do some pre-release testing on Huggert and the updated duo and giving some notes regarding bug testing. I'll confess that I haven't gotten the chance to check out the new stable version just yet but from what I've tested from start to finish as all 3 characters, they're fun to play as.
Starting with Huggert since he's the new guy in the spotlight, I've spent the most time playing as him just because of how fun it is to time his flight and star jumps. Huggert is a rather simple character to learn, but when you get ahold of his mechanics he is absolutely wonderful to master.
Most importantly: he's a good boy and deserves my praise. Same goes with Dummie :)
As for the duo, Frank and Dummie play similarly as they did back then. But now they are back with extra polishing to make gameplay smoother, more neat references/inside jokes, and new sick moves such as being able to parry anything from projectiles (both friendly and hostile projectiles btw, have fun with rallies!) to enemy collision. Frank's kick being a welcome addition and a burst of speed and a very fun way to maneuver and speed through levels and Dummie feels a lot more fun to control with tight platforming. The duo are really fun to play as individually, but one doesn't feel complete without the other and I'm glad that there's a feature for that in single player.
This mod is tightly knit with it's details ranging from references you can easily point out to pretty obscure inside jokes. Its also pretty hilarious and the gags get a good chuckle out of me. It pays a lot of attention to detail and the love and care that's put into the mod really shows down to the support for other mods. Despite all of this, I'm a little shocked on how overlooked it is, but that's probably the friend bias in me talking.
If you're reading this, give this mod a full game run or two. Favchars is definitely worth checking out and supporting just for how much personality is driven in this thing. It's been in the works for months, and the effort's gotta pay off y'know...
Excited to see what's to come, and once again, congrats on the big update.
