About the game
You guide Red and Blue, two dog heads joined by one long body, through places built around food, sleep and play. You bite onto objects, stretch across gaps and swing from handholds. Sometimes one head holds a water pipe while the other sends the water toward a plant. Other areas turn the pair into visitors at an arcade or an amusement park.
In co-op, each player controls one end of the dog. Moving in different directions pulls you apart, so you need to agree where to grab and when to let go. Two people can play locally or online, and you can also control both heads alone. The puzzles leave room for silly mistakes, with hidden bones to find and hats to unlock along the way.
How it feels
