Reviews enjoy the back-and-forth between helping a partner progress and getting in their way. It suits players who want shared progress and playful interference together.
What makes it fun
A helpful throw can turn into mischief
Throwing your partner can help them reach a distant platform or send them into a trap. You can get sidetracked by a scuffle, then team up again to reach the exit.
Rethink the route to the gems
On the way to collect gems and reach the exit, platform puzzles are layered with traps and enemies. Working out a new route through a section that stopped you feels rewarding.
Build a stage for a friend
The level editor lets you design a stage while imagining where a friend might get stuck. Then you can play through what you made together.
