[h3]Judging it prematurely, I thought I'd hate it[/h3] I was very skeptical about whether I was going to like this game or not. In the end I'm very glad I bought it, and now I feel a little guilty because I got it on sale and it's worth more than I paid. The reason I didn't think I would like it, is because in the late 80's and early 90's box-pushing games were everywhere and I played them all. Yes I realize that even at first glance this game isn't Sokoban but the underlying game play of these kinds often boil down to Sokoban with more razzle-dazzle. I didn't think "yet another" would grab my attention. [h3]OK so I was wrong this game is great![/h3] Wyv & Keep has won me over. I'm about 1 hour into the game and on World 2-6 and I've seen enough to know I'm hooked. The wonderful thing about this game so far is that new mechanics keep opening up as you go along. They don't force-feed you anything and yet everything is completely [b]discoverable[/b] and that is a sign of intelligent game design. What a joy it was to figure out that I could grab a bomb with one character, pass it though a tiny opening to the next character, then realize that's what the game was waiting to discover I could do. Level solved, I AM SO SMRT!!! :D Many of these little AHA! moments come along regularly and I can't say how much I appreciate the elegant simplicity and deft puzzle design from the devs. Red-herrings in the puzzles can exist, but there is never needless convolution - each apparent obstacle is a clue as to how you need to think about solving the puzzle. Genius. My cynicism has become total enthusiasm! Love this game and I cannot wait to slowly unravel it.

It's a charming platformer that has a focus on puzzles. It's like if Lost Vikings was only 2 folks, and had very short levels, and really liked having boxes pushed. Not really my kind of game at this point in life, but I think if you like puzzle focused platformers and maybe even have a friend to play with - it's probably a good time to be had.

Great, very underappreciated game. Starts easy, but by the end some puzzles are pretty difficult. Server is unfortunately down and now you can actually host your own. But I don't think a lot of people would do it. So Steam Remote Play Together is a real life saver here, use it! Had a bunch of fun with my friend in this game :) I think it could've boomed, one of those sleeper hits. It just needs more sales and giveaways and people will start talking ;) Recommended it to all my friends!
