What players say
My 4yo son and I have had a lot of fun playing this game, it has some quirks with the camera, and some minor glitches, but it delivers on its promise, half collectathon half coop fun. I can recommend it Update: This game can be frutrating in many places, but after finishing I can say its is flawed Gem

Level of enjoyment with a 6 year old co-op partner? Ridiculously high. Frustration and character switching needed to get through harder parts? A few parts in the first 4 hours. It's a great challenge for them. Love the getting chased parts in the levels. Busting out laughing and screaming trying to get through them.
Game was okayish until the last level. The boss is simply impossible. No matter the difficulty the boss is too fast and cannot be beat. I would recommend the game if the boss would be beatable but no just no. The mystery is that we watched the walkthrough in youtube and the boss isnt nearly as fast as it was for us. Simply frustrating if they would fix the final boss i could recommend this game but no not after this...
