The Setup

A cooperative puzzle-platformer starring a two-headed dog, Red and Blue, that can stretch its body between the two heads. Solo or co-op, you bite, grab, and stretch through three themed worlds — Food, Play, and Sleep — each with six stages and a boss.

The Review

Genuinely adorable and charming, with co-op stretching/tug-of-war mechanics that feel creative rather than gimmicky. It’s a great low-stakes couch co-op pick for a relaxed weekend. Camera and controls get fiddly in tight spaces, and the puzzle difficulty is easy enough that it might bore a solo veteran puzzle fan.

  • Adorable, colorful art style
  • Creative, unique co-op puzzle mechanics
  • Great low-stakes couch co-op pick

What I Didn’t
