4/10 i fell off the map again.... like 30 more minutes offline

One of the funnest co-op games I've ever played! HIGHLY recommend! Way more levels and unlockables than I expected!

A chaotic game that often leads to more frustration than fun. First thing I need to address is that this game can be fun. If we ignore completing all bonus objectives and going for 100% achievements that is. But I am game completionist so this review is through the prism of completionist, seeing the game in whole for what it is. Playing the game at first was really nice, gameplay like in other games like overcooked, fun, fast and chaotic. After some levels I've started noticing recurring problems, mainly bonus objectives and RNG. Bonus objectives for the most part were fine, but some of them were really and I mean really frustrating. In a map where there's a very high chance something will fall of the map at random : "Objects can't fall from map". In a loooong 15 minute level : "don't die" where dying in this game often is a result of bad RNG. While it can be said it's a challenge it is not meant to be easy and done on the first try. Yes you are right, but If I fail the challenge many times in a row because logs went in a bad place instead of good one, that's no fun. If the tree grown on panda that was just roaming around and made it fall through the map, that's no fun. The last level is the biggest offender to this, especially Asia section, those stupid monkeys will mess you up really bad, our tactic was to just skip this part and get points in other places. But even skipping this part was really annoying since the monkeys have the precision of The White Death and will kill you from the other side of the map if you are not hidden well enough. Another issue is that there's no indicator that the challenge is failed or fullfilled, it just shows up for a split second that you failed. But well, paying attention to the icon or challenge goal is sometimes impossible, if panda is launched into space you might not see it. Also weird issue for some levels with moving platforms, restarting level desyncs them. I was going insane trying to go through those platforms it seemed impossible or at least very inconsistent, turns out I just had to go back to main menu and them start the level again and it went back to normal. Still very annoying if you don't know this, it led to many hopeless retries. The movement is fine, thought we were getting stuck quite a lot and had to rescue each other. Picking items often results in picking the one we did not want to pick, outlines would fix that problem easily. There are also multiplayer achievements, but well nowadays multiplayer is dead, thankfully you can do it locally. But still that's a lot of farming for achievements, can't imagine how much time it would take to get it intended online way. Overall, game is fun, but bad challenges, RNG and somewhat clunky controls ruin the experience for me. Chaos can be fun, but when chaos is uncontrollable and is making you fail all over again it's no fun. There are many better games in this genre, but if you don't care about completion and just want to chill for a bit, go for it, you might like it.

Beautiful game, works perfectly on Steam Deck in docked mode even when set to Full HD. My only wish is for a family mode, I'd love to see the later levels, but getting enough stars can be tough with kids.
