This surprisingly lengthy Heave-Ho-like co-op adventure had my friend and I in stitches.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This game focuses primarily on the gameplay, so cutscenes and dialogues are very rare, but believe me, they are hilarious, totally worth the wait, and I had a good laugh during them.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game's surreal art style, engaging story line, and atmospheric sound design make it a memorable and enjoyable experience for those who are up for the challenge.
Graphics

21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
As I already mentioned in the beginning, I love the game’s visuals.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Awesome little indie platformer with plenty of memes, slaps and difficulty curves. 10/10 would Struggle on top of a duck's head again.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But if that should be the difficulty, I recommend everyone to play with a controller.
