One of my favorite games of all time. Encapsulates pretty much everything I love about gaming: a focus on the vibes rather than deep gameplay, an element of RNG to keep the game funny and entertaining, and fun social interactions with the people I play with.
The game is a slow paced roguelike where the idea is less about defeating enemies and more using your randomly generated items effectively to survive whatever potential hazards the game throws at you. If you can live long enough to find all 10 ship parts, yeehaw you win! Everything is randomized, so every playthrough is different and you gotta think on your feet on what choice of action would be the best. Do you risk opening an unmarked present or do you wait for a carrot man? Do you use the bonus hi-tops to get out of a sticky situation, or will a different item suffice? Things like that keep the game engaging despite its very relaxed and slow pace.
The multiplayer is phenomenal, this is one of the best multiplayer games on the mega drive easily. The game has dynamic splitscreen that allows both players to have total freedom in the map, as well as plenty of mechanics that encourage cooperation like items working for both players if they are on the same screen, or the togetherness item that can reset someone from getting knocked off the edge of a level by teleporting them to the other player. I make an effort to play this game at least once with each of my friends, and it has been a fantastic experience every time. All time great here.
