Fun game to play with a friend. I'm really into the mechanics of working together... OR committing crimes against your gaming partner.

An absolute must-play if you have a co-op partner to mess around with—the puzzle mechanics are built for chaotic duo energy. You can actually play it solo too, which totally changes the vibe into a much harder, brain-melting multitasking challenge. Definitely grab a friend for the laughs, but brave the single-player mode if you really want to test your sanity!

A bit boring, but some levels are surprisingly clever. Not bad overall.
