How it feels

A frantic co-op scramble where you fling and swing your teammates as living tools through dangerous caves, balancing slapstick chaos with the pressure of survival.

What players say

Players love throwing friends around as tools in this physics-based co-op game, but split on its difficulty: some find the monsters and timing too punishing, while others appreciate the chaotic fun. Performance can be rough on older machines, and controller support is not fully finished.
