Fun but awfully short game, beat it after only 83 minutes without even trying.
Even for a 2$ game that's a bit... lacking? Especially since there isn't much to it graphics-wise.

If it had like 2-3 more areas to explore I wouldn't have complained, but the way it is feels a bit weak.

On the upside it's really very relaxing and the gameplay loop is fun. That's why I won't simply return it but wait for updates. If this game gets a bit more content it'll be one hell of a nice, relaxing, casual experience.

The way it is not, however, I can't really recommend it.

Definitely one of the best games I've ever played - and 100% the #1 co-op game I've ever played.

I've spent around 10 hours in this game with my wife so far and we're having a blast. The levels are beautiful and varied and with every story you enter you'll encounter a new and (usually) unique new mechanic that you need to master. At one moment you're doing some 3rd person view running and gunning, then the perspective switches and you're in a 2.5D, side-scrolling platformer only to transition another two minutes later into a full blown racing game where your partner has to gun down enemies while you steer the vehicle. Then you enter a sidestory and suddenly play as a pig that can propel itself through the air by farting rainbows.

Fair word of warning, though: The game is NOT easy. It also isn't unfairly hard, but you will more or less frequently encounter passages that you will fail again and again and again and again because you just can't seem to make that stupid combination of jumps that you could swear should be easy but somehow isn't. You need to have a certain level of tolerance for frustration (or just be better than the wife and me). I'd recommend playing with mouse+keyboard, my wife prefers using an XBox controller. Both have their pros and cons, depending on the situation the game throws at you.

Best thing are the bossfights, though. No two of those are the same or even remotely similar. They are challenging yet fair - just as the levels.

Bottom line: I wholeheartedly recommend this game to everyone who has somebody to play it with. You will not regret it.

One more tip: If you intend to share the game via family sharing, make sure you do NOT download the "Friend Pass" version or you won't be able to host a game. Install the game via family sharing from your steam client and you should be fine. Also, for us, inviting another player only works reliably when both people have already started the game for some reason.

Gorgeous adventure game with easy puzzles that tells a cute story about children's imaginations.
I love the art style and the relaxed, easy going pace of the game.

If you want to unwind and solve a few puzzles this game will give you a few hours of enjoyment!

Fun little coding game.
It's mesmerizing to see the little farmer dude zip around doing its work - and all the time thinking about how the task at hand might be optimized further...

The editor is adequate for the game but could use a little more polishing imo, e.g. when copying and pasting code the indentation is usually screwed up. Also the code assist tends to work, but is a bit lackluster. Same when Ctrl+Arrow hopping through the code, it behaves just that little bit differently to "real" IDEs to be annoying.

When using an external editor, the changes made there are not picked up by the game automatically.

Despite these minor gripes I enjoy playing this a lot and I hope the author will come up with more/new features and tasks to solve. What's currently in there is already a fun romp through standard algorithmic challenges like pathfinding, sorting, max value search and general optimization of code.

Very much fun for very little shards... erm... money.
Cute little idler game with a strategic twist that makes you use your brain a bit and multiple viable ways to reach the end.
Now I must go, my Gnorps need me...

Tell you the truth, I wanted to refund HD2 because of the PSN-account-linking crap that Snoy tried to pull off. It would have hurt to do so, though, because it's actually a great game!

It's fun, it's cinematic and you'll feel like you're in Starship Troopers, fighting against hordes and hordes of bugs. Oh, yeah, and robots as well.

You will feel the hero of the day - and you will face utter defeat. But in both cases you'll have fun.

Stuck after upgrading the sword twice. I just can't get over it.
Ah well, not a game for me...

Nice and fun little game.
The controls can get a bit whacky at times, but that might just be me.

Downside: I've played through the entire thing in a few hours - and it feels a little bit too expensive for that.
For 5 bucks it would've been great, though.

It's Factorio. 10/10, 'nuff said.
