    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is highly praised for its engaging retro platforming style, unique mechanics, and chaotic multiplayer experience, particularly the humorous "picking up and shaking" feature. Players appreciate the cooperative mode that allows friends to join without needing their own copy of the game, as well as the open-level design that encourages exploration and creativity. Overall, the game combines entertaining mechanics with a charming story, making it a standout despite its lesser-known status.

    • “The best part of this game is for sure the picking up and shaking mechanic, and the most fun we had was when there were a bunch of enemies running around and we kept picking up the wrong people or picking up each other and just chaotically flinging boxes and bodies everywhere.”
    • “Every level has either a unique gameplay mechanic (better to see for yourself so there won’t be any spoilers here) or an open structure so you can explore it as you like and it even reminds a bit of immersive sims.”
    • “Great game with interesting game design finds and mechanics, particularly the mechanic of shaking everything that comes to hand.”

    • “It's an excellent game despite being a little bit unknown, but it has a nice story alongside retro platform gameplay, reminiscent of an arcade. It features a flawless co-op mode where the other player doesn't need to own the game to play, and the game includes entertaining battle modes and friendly characters.”
