About the game
You are thrown out of a retirement home and sent into a city full of dangerous objects. A list of challenges gives you reasons to explore, damage things and try unusual stunts. You can lose limbs, keep moving in a reduced state and respawn when an experiment ends badly. Completing tasks opens more items to use as you search for a place in another home.
Up to four players share the online sandbox. You can help with challenges and experiment with objects together, or interrupt each other with the same tools. Cooperation is loose, so this suits a group that enjoys making its own jokes more than following assigned roles. There are also separate competitive arenas. The cartoon violence includes blood and dismemberment, even when the situation is played for laughs.
