The gameplay features a versatile dynamic that seamlessly integrates co-op and versus modes, making it accessible for players of all ages without the need for extensive tutorials. While the unique herding mechanic offers enjoyable local co-op experiences reminiscent of games like Overcooked, the lack of a campaign mode or progression diminishes its long-term appeal.
“This way several different gameplay variables could be brought in, which would add a lot to differentiate the dynamic of the game.”
“It captures an integral dichotomy between co-op and versus, allowing you to jump instantly between the two without learning any new mechanics or controls, which is perfect for all ages and perhaps environments that aren't conducive to detailed explanation.”
