Set off on a spirited journey through a vibrant 3D world where two players must hold hands the entire time to reach the end! Grab a buddy for a classic couch co-op experience or become besties with an online partner to navigate unlimited, randomly-generated stages across eight difficulty levels.
Put stretchy, rubber-like arms to the test while completing platforming challenges and dodging obstacles that could tear the pair apart. Once players let go of each other’s hands, it’s game over! Overcome towering wooden blocks, giant basketballs, and powerful wind gusts by pulling, launching, or even using each other as a stepping stone.
Reach the goal while perfectly in sync with a friend, or choose to control both characters at once for a solo excursion offline. Aim for a high Bestie Level at the end of each stage, which is calculated based on clear time, number of restarts, and number of hearts collected.
