Why is everything so cute?

This game makes me feel awful.
Everything is cute, and you only have 3 main options:
Stab it with a sword.
Shoot it with a gun.
Explode it with a bomb.

And then of course we have the icing on the many cakes:
Burning, freezing, poisoning, stunning, cursing, electrocuting, putting to sleep...

What is this game trying to teach people, hmm?
"Hey Mike, what did you learn today?"
"I learned to stab vaguely dog-shaped creatures in the face with a pointy sword when they bark cutely in a corner."

I should be appalled, but the shiny things that drop from cute things call out to me.

To be fair, things get less cute the deeper you go into the clockworks.

Like *cough* *bark* *firey cough* *COUGH*

Some exceptions...

Yeah, there are a few ugly things like the zombies and trojans, and lichen colonies, but wolvers and gremlins are just too adorable.

Speaking of gremlins, I want to be a mender, as I'm saddened by the lack of any healer class in the game.
The spiral knights know only death and destruction, it seems.
There will be no healing or hugs, only consuming of the still-beating hearts of the various cute things for their life force, or something.

TBH I think the game's art style is pretty accurate to how things look around me.

Should you not feel awful

Should you not feel awful stabbing someone no matter what they look like? If anything, should you not feel worse for sticking a fellow who's been cursed with ugliness his entire life?

Even the Zombies are cute compared to other games

@ Windsickle
No...
Personally I'd rather shoot them with a rocket launcher.....

I love everything looking so cute

Everything looking adorable makes me all happy inside because so often games take a gritty and grey feel. This one is full of colors while still having an intriguing storyline (That you can ignore if you don't really want to follow lore) and fun game mechanics.

And our only real "healing" class is a seraphynx user, so we at least have that. A heal-y weapon would be rather overpowered with how dumb the AI are, and how often there's downtime between fighting. :(

ERROR, please try again after we attempt to do the banana dance.

Would Spookats be considered cute or ugly?
