A really solid atmospheric platformer with some creative physics-based puzzles and chaotic co-op moments. The art style and sound design carry the experience hard, especially during the more intense obstacle sections. It can get frustrating at times, but the checkpoints are forgiving enough to keep things moving. Definitely one of those indie games that feels simple at first but gets surprisingly addictive.
