Really fun and solid co-op game. The game has some extremely well-tuned game feel to it. It just feels so good to move around in the game. The animation and art-style are quite good as well. Something particularly cool is how frequently the game changes up what you are doing. For the most part it's a simple puzzle platformer, but there moments where it changes to stuff like a 2d fighting game or to like a top-down action game. The sheer breadth of ideas at display is really cool.

I do have some issues with however. For a very linear co-op game, the game is bit too long. There are certainly some weak sections of the game that could have been cut to make it fun throughout the whole game and make the game less of a chore to get through. Moreover, the story is awful. It just doesn't tackle divorce with much nuance at all. The message seems to be to never get a divorce, just try to rediscover your love. That's nice, but not great general advice, and kinda feels like the protagonists probably should get a divorce. They don't seem to give a shit at all about their daughter who is now alone with her practically dead parents. The character "Book of Love" constantly pops up and is just an awful character. So yeah, play the game for the fun gameplay and cool art style, not so much the story.
