The verdict
A short, silly and charming platformer with great music, funny writing and fun co-op. Skip it if you want depth, long playtime or tight controls, or if you plan to 100% it.
Great for
Players, families and kids who want a short, cozy, silly platformer with a great soundtrack and co-op
Main risk
It's only about 3-4 hours and shallow, so it can feel overpriced at full price
What players love
Short, cozy and relaxing for all ages
