I have to say that, as far as homebrew goes, this game is incredibly good, which is more surprisingly is that it is a Nintendo 64 homebrew.
The puzzles, albeit kind of easy, are clever, and aren't too long. You can save anytime you want, and go back to any stage you'd like by selecting on the main menu. The duo mechanics are very integral to the game and necessary for the puzzle solving. I haven't played it in multiplayer yet, but it surely will be a very fun experience.
I recommend this game. It is short and fun. Of course you have to judge it by homebrew budget standards, but it becomes an incredible addition to the Nintendo 64 library.
If anything, some songs are kind of repetitive, and the graphics, too, but it is to be expected of the budget. Anyway, I'll give it a not perfect score because it could be more polished art wise (but it is already really good) and with more variety of scenery and puzzle mechanics.
I'd like to see a sequel for this one.
