really fun but definitely a little punishing with the boss difficulty. it's also hard to get others to play it with you, which is unfortunate because the game strongly encourages you to do so. it's got an incredible ost though

A bit unbalanced but a lot of fun.

I love single-screen platformers, but you don't really get those outside of retro throwbacks these days. This is definitely a retro throwback, but it's a good one.

I played the coop campaign, which I found out later is apparently significantly harder than the single-player campaign. It has different level designs and puzzles that require both players to complete.

The difficulty curve is a bit all over the place; sometimes hard levels are followed immediately by incongruously easy ones, and I found the first boss to be many times harder than the much more fun to fight second boss. Once I unlocked the unlimited retry option the difficulty felt a lot more manageable though, and coordinating with a local player to solve some of the toughest puzzles was really satisfying.

Excellent and super underrated puzzle platformer. The games mechanics are very unique, difficult to get behind, but satisfying once you understand them. Art style is a great blend of cute and cool. The game is even designed to run on Atari 7800 systems, very few games with artistic throwbacks go that hard which has me respect the game even more. Fantastic soundtrack provided by the talented Rushjet1. Levels and boss fights are entirely different depending on one or two players, keeping the game fresh for either playthrough. Be warned, the game is VERY difficult. Couldn't beat it without the games built in mechanic to grant you infinite lives.
