Finished! I'm not sure how we beat the final multi-stage boss, but we did. Very much barely. By finished we unlocked a few new characters and it turns out that the way to unlock new characters is to finish the game with other characters. And there are A LOT of characters to unlock. I'm not sure I'll have the patience for it..though I'm curious if you can just do the boss level with a new character? (rather than the whole game). That probably wouldn't work because you'd need to level up the characters to even have a chance...sigh. It just seems like a huge grind that isn't worth the effort. On the other hand there is a superhard mode, perhaps we'll try that one instead?

I wouldn't be playing this had my son not insisted on it (and offered to pay half the price). So fair enough, we've been giving it a shot (to be fair, we downloaded the demo and played that). Aaaand, it's quite fun actually. 4-player on-screen co-op is a boon, but I've enjoyed all of the artwork (and the potty humor) as well. It was nice to see the alien from Alien hominid show up as well. And now as a playable character too!
