Not so much re-playable because its mechanism is ambiguous or at least not so rewarding. Yes it's harsh and I know it's intended. Maybe some couples would like it, but not for me.
Super hard game to play alone. Must be awesome to play with a friend. Cool sound and graphic design, and the levels are well thought.
Cute game, though short. Puzzles are easy but there's a whole bunch of them. Music is calming and art is really pretty.

8/10 DERU: The Art of Cooperation is a really cute and fun couch co-op puzzle game that I played through with my wife, who is a much less experienced gamer than myself. The game consists of a pair of shapes, one white and one black, each of which can block the opposite color as it moves across the screen, but dies when touching its own color. By blocking for each other, you weave your way through puzzles both simple and complex, reaching the exit and going on to the next challenge. The game contains no dialogue, but its minimalist style is noobie-friendly while also being really stylish. The game does a good job of adding a handful of new mechanics to keep the player engaged and add variety to the puzzles, while remaining pretty simple and never getting so difficult that you cannot find the answer without some good old fashioned trail and error. I've played a number of different couch co-op puzzle type games with my wife over the years, and this ended up being one of my favorites that we've played.
Totally worth those 3 hours that we spent on this game! It isn't too easy but not too hard. Nice minimalistic look.
Super fun cooperative puzzle game. You have two shapes, one controlled by each player, and you need to get to your respective exits by blocking streams of color, with several new mechanics added along the way (changing mass, leaving pieces of you behind, etc.) Gorgeous art and sound, as befitting an abstract indie title. I played this with my wife, one of her first ever PC games, so she was not so good at keyboard/controller dexterity. The game slowly increases the challenge and she had no difficulty controlling her piece during each stage, and was able to enjoy the puzzle solving. I too had a great time. Really good game, even for new players to console/PC. Note: You really should use game controllers. There is a lot of smooth diagonal movement required which is infinitely easier on a controller joystick.
*** Cannot "press to start" *** Started the game with 2 controllers plugged in (both working in Big Picture). Cannot "press to start" with the controllers. Cannot press enter to start on laptop keyboard or wireless keyboard. Cannot quit. Tried launching the game with mouse instead; same result. Completely unusable. (OS: MacOS Mojave)
The plot: amazing. Subtle, and if you "get" it, rewards you with a phenomenal theme of triangle, circle, and even square.
Good co-op 2-3 hrs overall gameplay
