Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The same way how ineptly operating on a patient and inadvertently injuring them in Surgeon Simulator or haplessly flinging around Octodad’s eponymous boneless character wants to elicit laughter, Home Improvisation wants to amuse players through the frustrating gameplay of assembling IKEA-style furniture.

I play with a Xbox 360 controller.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
It's more like using gravity guns to grab pieces, so you still have an interface between you and your furniture.

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
It's great to see more games like this available on steam that focus on local coop (because yes, some PC gamers like that).

REGION LOCKED - yes, who's ever heard of such a thing, right?
