The verdict

A cute co-op puzzle platformer about size-swapping that's hilarious with a friend or partner but plagued by online desync, bridge bugs and a harsh lives system. Skip it for online play or solo.

Great for

Couples or friends playing couch or Remote Play co-op who enjoy chaotic, laugh-out-loud teamwork on a sale

Main risk

Online co-op desync and bridge bugs force level restarts or make levels unbeatable
