How it feels

Playing feels like loosely bumbling through a chaotic, physics-driven co-op romp with cute gremlins under a playful mechanical caretaker.

What players say

Players praise the cute gremlin characters, smooth climbing and movement, and chaotic co-op fun, especially in split-screen. However, many say the game feels unfinished due to performance stutters, crash bugs, and procedural generation that can feel weak. Players are split on whether to recommend it in its current state.
