Great couch co-op game! I'd recommend at least 3 players for a more balanced and chaotic fun experience, but also since the game is QUITE hard.
So, for the players: this is a very hard game, where cooperation is key, mistakes will be made, but when you defeat a boss you feel it very rewarding! Right now it only has a few bosses, but it will take a lot of practice, attention, curiosity, creativity, resilience and teamwork to beat it. On the first try, you will feel like you don't understand anything. So PLEASE play the tutorial first. On the next few tries, you will try to grasp everything the game has to offer. You have to make a lot of choices in a lot of ways, so there is a nice replayability value. Right now, if you plan on grabbing it and playing it with some friends, I'd say wait for a sale.
Now for the devs: the game is sometimes too overwhelming on what's going on! lots of enemies on screen and some of their gimmicks you need to learn, so as to not fail miserably, are quite hard to grasp when the screen is full of chaos. For example, the rat and its pole, or the owl (thief). They are quick on what they do, they can screw your run while you are busy dealing with the thousand rabbits beating you, avoiding the hogs, repairing the cart and/or keeping the fire alive. See! there's a LOT to pay attention to.
Also, Rosie moves too fast! I know you can slow her down... but now, the environment also has tricky things: the ruins' different patterns, the bushes that you can destroy and follow, the yellow thingie that can give you more of a resource, the totems... Ahhh! just by listing these things I get stressed.
That being said, well organized team work is key! ALL of the players must be quick and effective. But, the game will slap you in the face before you realize your mistakes and the workarounds to make the run less painful. There's a lot to take into account, maybe find an easier or quicker way to communicate all of that to the players, or maybe, slow down Rosie a bit?
The UI is also a bit crowded in my opinion. So anyway, there's a lot going on and everything happens way too fast, that's my main complain. Some tricks make the game easier, but are hard to figure out. But this is not the player's fault, it all just happens too fast and not everything is obvious. There's just not much room to try and experiment stuff, and mistakes are very punishing.
On a side note, the game is cute, specially if you love cats! I mean, you can meow! purr when you sleep! So cute!!! <3 The artstyle is great, the sound effects are also nice and add wackyness to the experience.
IDK what else to say. Thanks for reading! Hope the project can grow! It has a lot of potential :D
