Really fun game. Especially great when played as coop with friends. Creative mechanics and levels. The only problem is the lack of online co-op, it's either Steam remote play together which can be laggy if you don't have top notch internet or local co-op. Recommended.

I played this originally on another platform and found it really fun! The art style, presentation and music of Struggling questions "What if Dr. Dimento, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, Troma, and Tiny Tim did a game collab?" If you have to Google search who or what those entities are, then this game may not be for you. If you do know then you will more than likely have a good laugh with it. In terms of gameplay however... I'm a glutton for punishment, and this is not a pick-up and play game. There is a bit a learning curve. I do find myself mouthing "left-right-left-right" to keep track of arm movements. It's a *struggle* for sure, but not so much as frustrating as something like Manual Samuel. The gameplay is enough that if you don't like or appreciate it within the first few minutes, you'll probably never come back to it. Furthermore, you will FAIL over and over and over again. Save points are actually plentiful enough, but getting to them.. Careful, Icarus.

Struggling . LOL It is really funny to play it. We separately control both hands of a disgusting creature and must move forward overcoming obstacles. . Controls: L stick - move left hand LT - grab with left hand R stick - move right hand RT - grab with right hand D-pad up - activate your left arm's self - regenerating cells Y - manipulate your right arm's reptilian DNA D-pad right - dive into Achilles' unfathomable wisdom B - make Hector express his deepest thoughts Hold D-pad right and B - kill yourself . Mechanics and features: An epic, well-drawn introduction video. A lot of jokes and gags.
