A coop focused puzzle game, you play as one of four furballs who through some bizarre experiment have been given superpowers and are now naturally stuck running through tests to deduce just how intelligent they've become.

Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
Being a party game you will be at the mercy of your slowest and weakest player, that for most should offer a decent night of online/local co-op with friends, some drinks and snacks.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Replayability comes in the form of competitive game modes where you try to move the ball as far through a level, or play the campaign in hardcore mode where you only have 1 life available.
