Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
It also goes way beyond just being a "Sokoban clone" because the game world contains laser barriers, robots, remote-controlled interlocked obstacles, and you control several characters with unique abilities who are gradually added to the game as you progress through the levels (so far I've encountered the parcel picker, magnet, teleporter, jumper, and remote controller; UPDATE: the final addition is the hammer guy who can remove wall pieces, which adds yet another layer of complexity).

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
And yeah, we've seen lots of box pushing games, and laser puzzle games, but none where you needed to pack up your box at the end (it's not enough to just reach the exit), and none that had co-op play (you can switch between up to 4 characters if you play alone), and of course this one also has gamepad support.
