How it feels

A chaotic cooperative heist game with a comedic tone, where you build a team of thieves to pull off stealthy or explosive missions.

What players say

Players call it a fun, chaotic 2D platformer with a base-building loop and short missions, not a metroidvania despite its tags. The base game runs about 4 to 5 hours, but opinions split on new game plus: some praise the added difficulty and rent system, others find the progress-resetting payment punishing. Co-op is popular and lowers the difficulty.
