Heave Ho tasks up to four players with a simple goal – don’t fall to your death! Players will use their own two hands and the outstretched grip of their friends to grapple across each level on their way to victory. Grab one another’s hands, climb across dangling bodies, and swing your pals to safety in a wobbly, dangly mass of limbs. Customize your character with all manner of stylish accessories and zany accouterment in a vain attempt to remember who you are and which of your hands is the only thing between you and the plummet of doom.

I'm a big fan of physics-oriented platformers, and this is no exception. The game absolutely shines as a cooperative laugh riot, but don't sleep on the single-player: figuring out ways to tear through levels and bypass obstacles entirely is almost as fun.
This game was super fun to play as a party game with friends. The game ends up being super easy if everyone works together to reach the goal, but of course that never happens and everyone ends up trying to mess with other people. Either that or some people just struggle to make their way to the goal and it is fun to watch.
The controls themselves took some getting used to, but ended up being easier to control than I thought.

Super fun with friends. Not too valuable to play on your own but there's some mild fun with speed running it.
Great concept and great execution. Really fun movement and multiplayer shenanigans. Absolute gem of a party game, and fully co-op.
Quirky and unique, and when playing locally with others it provides oodles of opportunities for true belly laughs. 95% of achievements, lacking just one which is too time consuming to attempt (Snug: one of the minigame achievements; I recommend trying to achieve it from the beginning because it's not that straightforward to trigger the minigame, so it gets grindy).
I never quite got the knack of the control system - which is basically the game - and I get a little bit of trauma when I see it in my library. But it's a fun game, worth a try.

Fun party game to play with friends for a while. Not idea for big sessions, having to hold both buttons on the tiny joy-cons can make your hands sore quickly.
