a note to the devs if they ever see this guide.
I want this game to be good, I really do, but I feel the product you pushed out is not any where near close to acceptable.
This guide was made somewhat as a saltpost over my frustrations with this game.

I don't hate you guys, I am just disapointed.

this is my review for icons, i'd highly reccomend you give it a read
The uninstallation process
First you are going to want to locate icons in your steam library






Next off you are going to look to your right and you may notice a list that says 'LINKS', click on support in said list.











Now you will get to a page that looks like this, don't be scared by all the links and buttons! just click on the button that says "I want to permanantly remove this game from my account"












One more step! Now you will get to a page that looks like this. Click the button that says "ok, remove the listed games from my account permanantly" You are now done!
Better games cheaper than the $25 character pack

You have uninstalled Icons! Now you might be wondering, "so what platform fighters do I play now?" Well I got the answers for you!
This list will go from cheapest to most expensive.

THE FREE GAMES

Super Smash Flash 2
This game is basically everything icons is wanting to be, but better. More characters, totally free, and no lootboxes. Plus new characters like chibi robo and sora make the game stand out from just being a smash clone...unlike icons

Brawlhalla
This game is the perfect game to play with friends for a fun night! Although this game feels a lot more different than what other platform fighters play like, it is totally free and is a great party game. Plus this game has the most active community out of all these games.

Project M
SHHHHHHHHHHHH, nintendo might be watching...you can figure out how to set this up on your own, but let me just say its much better than Icons and still has a active community despite the project being dead. I am not promoting piracy, get your own copy of brawl off a garage sale copy or something!!!

GAMES THAT COST MONEY

Slap City Cost $6.99
Don't let this games presentation drive you away! It may look ugly but boy is this game a doosy! Extremely unique characters and movesets with interesting new mechanics and a 'not so serious' charm all make this game a must have if you are a platform fighter player. This game offers the best of both words, this is both a extremely serious compeitive fighter and a halarious party game with friends. This game also has a very solid online matchmaking system, allows for tons of people in just 1 lobby.

Rivals of Aether Cost $14.99 + Optional DLC
This is the perfect game if you are looking for a standout hardcore balanced competitive platform fighter. 13 (as of july 14th 2018) playable characters all with extremely unique movesets and a general focus on more aggressive play. This game also has a extremely indepth tutorial that teaches you literally everything you need to know about this game. Has a very active and welcoming community. This game is a must if you are a compeitive platform fighter player.

Indie Pogo Cost $14.99
A new game that recently came out, after a successful kick starter. This game has a TON of indie characters from basically every indie game you can think of even a character from Rivals of Aether is in Indie Pogo!. This game is also a great party game, has a simple and easy to understand gimic to it that makes for fun matches with friends.

Super Smash Bros (n64) Cost varies, keep a eye out for cheap copies, avoid purchases over $30
The granddaddy of all platform fighters. Still holds up strong even to this day! Perfect for casual and semi competitive gameplay. Only downside is having to use a n64 controller unless your using a 3rd party adapter or a emulator. Overall great game.Once again, get your roms legally!!!

Super Smash Bros Melee Cost varies, keep a eye out for cheap copies, avoid purchases over $40
Ahh, classic ol Melee...Perfect for parties, perfect for hand cramps after the 30th waveshine...Nothing really to say here. Can't really go wrong with melee. You better extract your iso your self or nintendo will lay the smash down on you!

Best part is, this game has been passed between 3 "Devs" now. It was made by one fraud group, got sold off, the second group just released it with everything unlocked from the start with no fixes or special funds or anything for people who owned the original game. Just now they got to play it with zero changes and even somehow worse netcode. On a game that had been already stagnant for months when it died only two months past beta.

Now Icons is getting YET ANOTHER RELEASE on steam under a different name, using the same characters and stages, lootbox reward model and more. I'd start flagging this game when you see it because honestly it's starting to smell like a scam where the devs are just re-selling the same game over and over under different names.
