This is the first game I see where singleplayer is a lot harder than coop, because in singleplayer you have to control both characters yourself lol And if you are trying to beat all time records it is petty hardcore if you ask me. It's the kind of game where you lose hundreds of times until your fingers start repeating input patterns so fast that your brain can no longer make sense of what's happening. While online coop is buggy like hell, and 50% of times we had to restart the level because of lags and not our mistakes, still the game is fun enough for 1 bux. From the other hand I would not recommend it for full price. Moreover it is a console port, where you cannot even bind mouse buttons.

A fun little co-op game where we solve 2.5 D puzzles by throwing each other or catching each other. Pushing levers or moving boxes to make way for each other. Very simple yet head scratching levels here and there and is really fun to pass some time. 100% recommended.

It's all fun and games competing against your friend and trying to get the most points in the first few levels, but after that it's a tragedy, and you have to actually work together to get through.
