Giving a thumbs up but WOULD NOT RECOMMEND spending $12 on this game. I let this game sit in my library for over 7 years before I finally played it, and I didn't miss much. For a game that came out in 2014 this is not very impressive compared to similar games like Portal & QUBE. I beat the game in an hour and then beat the "bonus levels" in another hour. But honestly, it would have taken me a lot less time than that if the mechanics of this game worked properly. The "jump" button wasn't jumping half the time which led me to fall and have to start climbs all over again. Rather frustrating, but maybe you wouldn't have the same bad luck. Either way, wait for this game to go on sale for like $2, that's about what it's worth by today's standards.

Portal for a man on a budget ^._.^ Local co-op requires a controller as controls cannot be rebound, but it was a fun 2 hours of single player play to finish the game.

Great game if you get it on sale. Similarity to Portal is obvious, but that's a positive. Liked the music too - reminded me of the Sanctum tower defence games.

I don't know when or how I got this game but after beating it in one sitting I think its fine do not get this at full price its way too short even with the coop.It is nothing like portal despite looking a bit like it I think its more simple than portal.
