About the game
You guide two small creatures made of yarn through forests, waterside paths and places built by people. A thread links you together and gives you a way past obstacles. You swing from hooks, pull objects and use one another as anchors. A lighthouse connects the stages, while scenes involving two children unfold behind the action.
In local co-op, each of you controls a Yarny. You work out where to stand and when to jump, then help your partner reach the next ledge. You can merge the characters so one player handles a difficult stretch. Quiet sections give you room to look around, but chases and moving hazards still need attention. Extra challenge stages offer harder puzzles and new looks for your characters.
