It has great visuals although if you do play with Remote Play Together, the other person may lag a little.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
"Handy Dandy" is a 2D retro platformer with a co-op focus, which features simple hand drawn 2D illustration instead of pixelcrap (always looking for the silver lining, me), unfortunately rather tired gameplay, and not all that much success on Steam (despite there being a lot worse games than this one, I can assure you).

It would be nice if you could play with friends online, but unfortunately both players must be on the same computer.

I played it on remote play with an xbox controller and the animation was clean and there were no bugs.
