C'mon boys, won't you shake a poor sinner’s hand?
Me and my girlfriend played this together and we felt like the smartest persons ever alive every time we solved one of the levels, yes, is THAT kind of game.
Handshakes was an extremely pleasant surprise, what seemed like a charming albeit simple free experience ended up being an incredible puzzle game, with thoughtful and fun level design and concept, and was a blast to go through.
Sure, a really plain visual style, just having one song and its briefness are things that do hold it back, but don't drag the experience in the slightest. Some levels here are amazing, and what seems like such limiting concept ends up giving some amazing puzzles; it's a very smart game, not only because it makes you FEEL smart, but it also knows how to use its elements and mechanics to their fullest potential, they may be simple additions, but they feel game-changing, and in a way they are. The level ‘’Not what it seems’’ ended up being one of my favorites despite being one of the simplest, it’s just… chef’s kiss.
Also, after playing a puzzle game without a rewind feature, this one having felt like the fucking ascension.
I don't know, it just was an extremely cool and pleasant puzzle game, just a couple of guys being dudes, shaking hands and having really fun puzzle design. I cannot wait for the sequel, it has the potential to be something incredible, and I'm all here for it.
Are you ready?!

Also this game's box art is animated in HowLongToBeat and I think that's the single coolest thing I've ever seen in that website, this game freacking rules.
