In It Together

It's an enjoyable Puzzle Platformer, that remind me of games similar to Mario Vs. Donkey Kong on the GameBoy Advance. The Single player mode has some really interesting and creative puzzles, some that makes you think what your next step should be. I haven't tried the Co-op mode yet, but i look forward to try it with someone. Overall worth your time if you like these types of games.

So I decided to check this game out as it was made by a YouTuber I used to watch when I was younger, it was cheap and it didn't seem to get much attention. I'm glad I did because this is a legitimately great puzzle platformer game. Your objective is to go into a small level to collect briefcases and gold bars by picking up and throwing objects that will help you get to your objectives. For example throwing plants to break glass. Sounds pretty simple but each level introduces cool new mechanics and things to pick up that expand on the formula in clever ways, but the level design doesn't waste any time in getting you to grips with them without ever getting overwhelming, so you're constantly getting those "aha!" moments you want in a puzzle game without being bored by tutorials or being stuck in the same section for too long. I'm only on World 3 of I believe 5 but I don't see the game getting any worse (I like it enough to review the game now). The levels themselves are fairly short so it's a great game to pick up for a bit and put down but it also can be pretty addicting to go for another level right after finishing one. The game also has a pretty cool sense of style with its character designs and white outlines over a dark environment. You get a lot of bang for your buck with this. You get a full single player campaign and a full co-op campaign with its own levels I haven't tried yet. You also get a battle mode which again I haven't yet tried but based on what I've seen looks like it could be pretty fun in its own right. I think I'm halfway through the single player so even if I don't get around to the other modes, 4 or so hours is a pretty good length for the price of admission. If I have some minor grips, the audio doesn't loop very well which can be pretty jarring, the dynamite blast radius could maybe be better communicated because it's very wide, and while I guess that is the punishment for dying but on normal difficulty it can be a little annoying having to redo puzzles after death. Overall this one deserves a lot more attention than it's getting, it's just very solid and it keeps itself interesting through its level design. EDIT: After finishing the game I'm happy to say the quality did not diminish in the later levels, in fact I enjoyed the game even more. Heavily recommended, hoping to try out the other modes soon!

In It Together is a puzzle platformer inspired by classic platforming games that makes you complete puzzles with a lot of different mechanics and with varying difficulty. The game has a lot of content with 50 stages in single player, and 50 more stages in co-op. In addition to this there is a Battle mode, which is really fun to play with friends. The Battle mode has 15 more stages, and several different ways to play, so there is a ton of replayability. If you like platforming games with a bit of challenge this is definitely a game i would recommend picking up. If you want to test out the game before purchasing it i would highly recommend downloading the demo as it lets you get a sense of how the game is played.

In the idiom of early pc game weirdness, evocative of the best quirky and magic gems like Willy beamish. Everything from the sometimes excellent, always monotonous and skewed bit tunes- to deliberately balanced floaty physics nails this idiom in the best way. The characters and esthetic of the cutscenes is great; refreshingly fanzine-like and original, I grew up on fanzines and underground comics in the 80´s, I love this. The toolsets and mechanics are a great and original super retro take on modern sandbox stealth games, though here they are implied into an action/puzzle platformer with surprizing depth. The engaging gameplay is all about crafted level design. Excellent local co op demanding agency and communication. Good stuff./ Thumbs up from local co op dad and kid.
