About the game
You play Bud or Terence in a side-scrolling brawler with retro pixel art. Bud brings the strength and Terence the agility. Levels take you from a saloon to a fairground to the streets of Miami, where you slap waves of bad guys and grab pans or beer glasses to hit them with. Now and then the fighting stops for a short minigame, such as a shoot-out, a food fight or a race in a dune buggy.
One or two people play. In co-op you each take a hero on the same device and fight side by side, and a few puzzle bits need both Bud's strength and Terence's agility. Play alone and the computer controls the other hero.
Levels last about 10 to 15 minutes and the whole game is short. The controls are easy to learn, so it suits a quick evening with someone who does not play much.

Backs Local co-op, Most players on one screen, Platforms, Kind of game, About, Story.
- Local co-op: The maker's page says you play as Bud or Terence, alone or with a friend in co-op mode against the bad guys.
- Most players on one screen: The page says alone or with a friend, so two players. The Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo pages give 2 as well.
- Platforms: Lists PS4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Steam, plus Google Play and the App Store. The mobile editions have no co-op evidence, so they are left out.
- Kind of game: Both players are on the same side against the bad guys, working through the story levels.
- About: The story is a job gone wrong, lost money, a kidnapped girl and villains with plans. The vocabulary has no film homage or slapstick theme, so crime is the nearest fit.
- Story: The page gives the story as a simple setup: a job gone wrong, a kidnapping and villains with plans. The story is not the reason to play.
