The gameplay of the game is characterized by creative level design and a variety of mechanics that keep the experience fresh, particularly in co-op mode. While some players appreciate the progression and unique features introduced in each level, others find the controls and mechanics awkward and frustrating at times. Overall, the game offers fun and engaging gameplay, though it may not always meet the expectations set by its predecessor.
“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 two players 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 focus on map design and not the gameplay.”
