    Gameplay reviews highlight a mixed experience, with some praising the game's map design and progression of obstacles, while others criticize awkward controls and mechanics that can lead to frustration. The game is noted for its co-op elements and variety of levels, reminiscent of "Moving Out," but with some players finding the mechanics inconsistent and challenging. Overall, while the gameplay offers unique features and enjoyable moments, it may require patience due to its quirks.

    • “An exceptional co-op game - dozens of levels with different mechanics, great style, and the best/worst puns I've seen as of late.”
    • “If you're familiar with Moving Out's gameplay loop, consider this game as more Moving Out with new levels and a little bit of a twist.”
    • “The three other worlds in the game really step up on the mechanics and every level adds a new unique feature to work around.”
    • “The controls and game mechanics are also just really weird.”
    • “Like how randomly my character drops an item while I'm holding it for no reason, how awkward it feels sometimes when the two of you try to move a single object together, how annoying it is when you try to rotate the character while holding an item, and the tossing mechanic is just as frustrating.”
    • “I ultimately narrowed it down to the fact that the first game had fairly simple map design, but the progression of map obstacles throughout the game made sense without overstaying its welcome. This game seems to, for the most part, focus on map design and not the gameplay.”
