Value puts it in the top 3 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 63 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 96 percent. Among the games that feel like it, TowerFall Ascension ($14.99, scores 83) beats it on value, while it beats Crumble ($14.99, scores 55).
Critics scored it 76. Players sit 15 points higher at 91 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.
Of the 448 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 12 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 651 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 216 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 74 percent of the 453 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 22 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
Love this game. Super funny to play and rage bait family and friends. Definitely got a laugh out of everyone!
This is one of the best co-op games I've tried! The game mechanics are perfect and really add to the fun. The game is easy to get into, but as you get better, it becomes really fun to tackle the more challenging levels. Can't wait to play Part 2!
One of my favorite couch games ever! The physic is so fun! It's easy to learn and to start with any friend, whatever their gaming background (almost). Actually, it was so good that I ended up replaying it each time a friend came to visit, and then even mastering it in solo... so now it's just not that fun to play with my friends as I spend my time waiting for them... That's sad... But wait! I just saw right now that...
