How it feels

Playing a quirky puzzle-platformer that switches between adventure game logic and twitch platforming while its two mismatched characters bicker through a silly sci-fi story.

What players say

Players are split on this genre mashup. The witty writing and inventive puzzles are praised, but the platforming is widely criticized for loose controls and the hybrid never fully clicks for some. A few mention a disappointing ending.
