It tests your patience between your friends but it makes for a fun albeit stressful time (maybe this was just my friends!). But it's fun to see couch co-op games actually rely on teamwork without being another overcooked-like. It's criminal how few ratings this has.

Good fun and reasonably difficult challenges. Only local multiplayer.

Game is very fun in co-op! Highly recommend for a local co-op game
