What players say

Players are split on Mari and Bayu. Some praise the charming art and puzzle design, calling it a fun co-op experience, while others report buggy controls, a broken two-player mode, and progression-halting glitches. A subset of Russian reviewers object to a Ukrainian flag in the intro, calling it political.
