“This ♥♥♥♥ is really fun, ngl. Great platformer with an inmense amount of maps made by the community. Just be careful because it's easy to lose track of time, lol.”

“the movement is good but the lag spikes are crazy (also some players bully you)”
“Das Spiel ist super, aber es gibt viele toxische Spieler. Es gibt nur wenige europäische Server, und 60 % der Spieler darauf sind Russen.”
“Being filled by cheaters and russians, it's indeed "the hardest cooperative 2D platformer ever" than it's supposed to be. Out of irony, it's a decent game to play online or even alone (since the players are most often…”

“This review is mostly about RU community , game itself is like quite hard platformer with some fun , often made into weirdly difficult mechanics. Cheaters, active blockers, just annoying dudes that will ruin runs for no…”
