How it feels

A hand-drawn puzzle-platformer where you coordinate two characters simultaneously, either solo with split controls or cooperatively, in a colorful atmospheric world.

What players say

Players recommend this for co-op, solo is punishing especially during chase sequences because you must control both characters at once. The puzzles are fair, the platforming is precise, and checkpoints keep frustration low. Completing the game takes 6 to 10 hours.
