For a free game it's actually not bad but it has a few bugs. Sometimes trees are floating. Also you can't pickup items from the turtle when on a bridge.

[h3]A straightforward yet fast-paced and challenging co-op game that requires a degree of coordination that's almost impossible to achieve playing solo.[/h3] You start out inside a protective bubble (which you can exit) with 30 seconds to quick harvest everything in sight before a large purple spirit moves to consume your turtle. From then on you have to do your gathering on the move. The turtle moves forward but will stop if there is an obstacle in your way (thorny bush, stone formation, broken bridge, etc).

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
