The verdict
A chaotic, goofy co-op heist game about tiny gnomes robbing a naked old man; hilarious with 3-4 friends. Skip it if you play solo or want a polished game with ongoing updates.
Great for
Groups of 3-4 friends who enjoy janky, chaotic physics comedy and short sessions
Main risk
Bugs, repetition and no updates since release leave little to do after a few hours
