“Was really fun. Really hard, or maybe we were just bad ;p but overall, made some memories playing this, so thank you devs!”
“What is this??? Still after 3 years, it’s this buggy! I was just looking for games to play when I stumbled across Bread & Fred. It looked kind of interesting, so my friend and I decided to give it a try. Not the best…”
“a casual and fun game”

“It might be fun in multiplayer, but the physics in single player are so broken I couldn't get past the first swinging part of the tutorial. Any game that forces me to spend that much effort getting through the tutorial…”
“The Single Player experience was fairly agitating, I haven't made an attempt at a serious Co Op playthrough although my daughter and I have wasted a few hours of her trying to take the ball with us, which I saw later is…”

“super fun to play with a friend, definitely caused me to rage at times, but that is part of the charm”
“Fun but challenging platformer. Playing as two penguins tied together, every jump requires careful timing. The climbing mechanics feel simple at first but quickly become demanding as the mountain gets harder. The kind…”

“Unreasonably difficult to the point where it's not a fun game. The cute art style is pretty misleading, this one is only for the most hardcore platforming gamers.”
“It’s very fitting to say looks can be deceiving with Bread & Fred. It’s easy to get the impression that it’s a cute co-op platformer thanks to the colourful visuals and basic moves like jump. It’s actually an intense,…”
“Getting over it if it was cute and adorable but just as equally as enraging”

“Cant even join a multiplayer lobby, devs are usless with fixing it”
“I don't usually post reviews. But this game does not let my friend and I play multiplayer. We are beyond bummed out. When looking at the community hub discussion, I noticed the first few pages of posts were in majority…”
“These stupid bugs won't let me play the game even for a while in Online Multiplayer. - You can't press the back button in a certain menu. - You can't instantly join Multiplayer, I ought to spam the Enter button until I…”

“Thanks for creating the most unresponsive menu ever created.”
“Be VERY careful when placing down checkpoints. You would hate to accidently fall to the bottom, go to click your return to checkpoint button, and click place checkpoint. I, unfortunately, would know.”
