• Online co-op: The maker's note says 2P mode only works locally. Online play through Steam Remote Play is switched on, but it is not a native session and the maker says it works poorly.
• Local co-op: Key features list Shared/Split Screen Co-op, and the page text offers local multiplayer with a friend for the whole campaign.
• Friends can join mid-game: The store text says drop-in drop-out local multiplayer throughout the whole campaign. The one or two player choice is made on the level screen, so a friend joins between levels.
• Release status: The page shows no Early Access notice. It lists Early Access on 26 Feb 2021 and the full release on 6 Dec 2025.
• Release date: The page shows 6 Dec 2025 for the full release, which matches the maker's own post. Early access began on 26 Feb 2021.
• Laughter and chaos: User tags include Funny and Comedy.
• Story: User tags include Story Rich, and the text describes an overarching storyline with a large cast.
• About: The store text calls it a rhythm game where you heal patients by defibrillating in time to their heartbeats, and the levels are set to music.
• Free base co-op: Steam sells the game for $19.99. The page lists a Free To Play store genre, but no free co-op version was found, and the maker's 2020 demo is only a demo. The checked computer edition requires purchase of the base game. Demos, trials, guest passes, platform sharing and temporary grants do not establish ongoing free base co-op.
