Fun platformer and a great deal for 1.50$ on sale Some bugs and if you get trapped you cant restart to the last checkpoint you have to restart the level but an enjoyable 4 player local co op experience with each player having its own unique move crucial to each challenge Edit:(4 player local Co-op)We have been having a lot of fun but sadly it was cut short when we experienced some bugs. so we first experienced the "undead" bug on the falling logs level where when one person dies they drag the screen down and kill everyone(the blue character). So in that instance we tried to beat it that way but we just restarted it and it was fine. But we experienced the bug again in the laser level and this time it was even more different and hence why it's got its name so when the laser would hit the green character it would kill him but you would still be able to move him around, so If he fell or went too far ahead it would kill everyone and we would have to restart to the last checkpoint. So of course we restarted it again but the green character ended up having the same problems. You may say "get good" but we experienced another bug where finally when we get past the lasers with 2 people beca…
An Idea of team is from "The Lost Vikings", but with lots of arcade, nice graphic style and animation, but meh.... A bit boring platformer as result. I'll stay to support guys for the efforts.
Love the art but due to floatines and too fast game pace, I pass.
I'm sorry but when 60% of your players drops to only 29% between SAYING HELLO TO A SCREEN and FINISHING THE TUTORIAL you know there is something seriously wrong with your controls.
No way in hell is this worth the £10.99 being asked for it at time of writing. This is a clunky, charmless mess.
I can`t wrap my head around this at all, it just doesn`t play at all well. To have to switch between 4 characters at speed in solo and execute all their abilities in split second timing is just a headache. It seems to have all been said already but none of it feels right, movement, controls, levels, it`s all been done better in other platformers which isn`t in itself a bad thing but considering the general lack of fun I was having trying to complete even 1 level without getting sent back to the start each time I just haven`t got any patience for this. Maybe it`s better coop where I assume you only have 1 character to control but solo is a mess. Art is decent, music is ok but I just don`t want to play it.
