About Struggling

https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1035560/extras/Top_Banner.gif
Struggling is a physics-based co-op platformer with a twisted spin on teamwork. Control the arms of a squishy abomination and guide it through a deranged
world where anything goes. Outrun ravenous rats, joyride a dirt bike, and vault over pools of unmentionable waste. One thing’s certain: you will struggle.

\

Two hideous heads are better than one\


Inventive co-op will test the firmest of friendships. Grab a partner and work together by controlling one arm each. When even walking takes a combined
effort, communication is key to keeping your cool.

Crawl, swing, clamber, and slide to victory


Manipulate each arm independently and latch onto literally anything you see, from suspicious levers to dangling eyeballs. Triumph over physics-based
challenges, or get your arms ripped off in the process (don’t worry, they grow back).

This game is alright, as a co-op game it's a fun test of endurance and teamwork, I'd say that it's not very difficult as a rage game, the controls are hard to use but after a few hours you figure out the limitations of what you can do. In terms of presentation I think this game does a pretty solid job, the artstyle is fun and cartoony, the music is pretty good, there really is no story in here, more just a series of locations woven together that serve to challenge you with varying obstacles, although I will say the final area of the game feels like the devs ran out of steam and just threw random ideas together just to finish it (but that's just a theory). I'm not a fan of the collectible hats all things considered, hidden nooks and crannies are fun to find in games but in a game where traversing is tedious, slow and downright annoying I genuinely didn't want to spend even more brainpower trying to reach them as I think they just don't work in a game like this. Overall a 6/10, if you have a friend it could be a fun challenge, also Amadeus is literally the best part of the whole game I'm serious he's absolutely amazing

Got this in a humble bundle? I feel like this game would have done great on Newgrounds in the early 2000s. I get what it's trying to do but the controls are too frustrating / inconsistent and the checkpoints too badly placed to want to continue with this one.

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.

This is a very creative and surprising game. It will always throw something unexpected at the player. That said, this is obnoxiously difficult. It's also hard to get used to. The game did make me feel like I was controlling someone with two brains, so I guess it works there. Play at your own peril I guess.
