Is it free?

Yes. The Game Jolt release is free. PlayBound's one-click path uses a hosted Windows package of that freeware build.

Does it have online multiplayer?

Not natively. Multiplayer is local 4P co-op. Remote friends use PlayBound Couch / phone-as-controller on the host machine.

Does it support controllers?

Yes. OpenBOR binds pads natively for up to four local players. PlayBound does not rewrite a config file.

What engine does it use?

OpenBOR (Open Beats of Rage), a common engine for freeware beat 'em up remakes.
