“Still shocked this game isn't more popular than it is. This is a wonderfully polished co-op puzzle-platformer with a Match 3 focus. The puzzle ideas and the mechanics really reminded me of that pure Nintendo polish,…”

“This is a great coop game for 2 ! The game starts quite simple, but progressively adds content and reuses its mechanics very cleverly throughout the game. Would absolutely recommend. The art direction is AMAZING,…”

“its a fun 2 player game, the colour mechanics and minigames are really nice stylized ways to encorporate communication based puzzle solving. It will really test how well the other person listens”

“This is a great co-op puzzle game. Matching colors is simple but the game adds more challenges and variety throughout the campaign. Do be aware though that the campaign is 2 player only. The party mode with additional puzzles can have up to 4 players.”
