Gelly Break Deluxe
I was sponsored to play this for a few hours with a friend, we really enjoyed it and will likely stream it some more. It’s got a clever co-op mechanic and the map design was fun and the soundtrack was also great, though sadly I couldn’t even find it on YouTube. We had a few issues with remote play but it did work and presumably that isn’t an issue on Switch either. Good fun :)

My Review: https://youtu.be/-Ueu03A11gY
I’m already a big fan of 3D Platformers, but one that adds in a twin stick shooting mechanic is not only unique but proves to be a ton of fun! As of writing this, I’m less than halfway through the game, but as a big fan of the genre, this one is doing a lot of things I like already.
There’s beautiful and vibrant graphics, fun boss battles, interesting platforming challenges and of course, a little bit of bullet hell shooting thrown in to mix it all up. The switching mechanic (switching between the 2 main characters) is very interesting as well. While this has been done before, the developer has gone out of their way to implement it so that it pulls double duty being able to break glass, shields and other assorted things.

The Amulet of AmunRun
About the demo : A demo is available for everyone to play. It features the first 3 enigmas of the game and can be played in solo or in duo. It is strongly advised to play it with a friend/mate as the game has been designed for 2 and the final game will be coop only.
Welcome to AmunRun’s pyramid, the millenary jewel of Egypt !
Incarnate two archaeologist students who are sent into the ancient pyramid of AmunRun to uncover its secrets. Deep inside the pyramid is a mythical amulet that nobody managed to recover. You were sent to prove your worth ! Dive into the depths of the pyramid and fetch this golden treasure, but don’t forget that getting might be easier than getting out !
-
Adventure yourself in an epic race against the pyramid’s secrets and traps ! Navigate through the mystical challenges overlooked by the Egyptian gods.
-
Run together with your favourite side-kick (your friend is always the sidekick ;)) through the millenary corridor of a pyramid designed with the sole purpose of preventing you from entering. Don’t forget to communicate and collaborate between two breaths !
-
Prepare your hat & boots and especially ready yourself to use what’s inside. You’ll have to use your sense of observation and wit to open trapdoors, but you’ll have to use your dexterity to escape what might be coming out of them.

Woodle Deluxe
Woodle Deluxe is a cute and colourful 3D action platformer ideal for children and adults alike, and third game in the Woodle universe series. I’d score it a decent 8.5 out of 10 for great family fun. It includes two modes of play; i.e. single player and a local cooperative mode, where the second player can play as Woodle Beaver. It’s a nice relaxing platforming adventure with no time constraints and is ideal for all the family. You can wander around in an open world environment, but don’t wander off the edges of the world, otherwise you are transported back to the beginning of the level.

If you already own this, it’s not too bad to complete it in 2-3 hours. A very simple 3D platformer.
Woodle
This is not a good game. The picture tells the gist of this game well enough, a very standard 3D platformer with terrible music. But this isn’t too bad if you want to complete a game in a few hours. Only a recommendation if you own it though, not to buy it. For a one-dev game, not the worst.
58/100

To Be Headed Or Not To Be
Despite the glitchy moments, game was very enjoyable! Played it with my boyfriend first, and as he didn’t quite like the mechanic I asked my friend!
we didn’t get the appeal of beheaded characters until it’s being used in a puzzle, which is honestly briljant!
Some puzzle are VERY HARD. especially towards the end but enjoyable!
We played it in 3 nights, of approximately an hour each time. Sometimes our save would send us back quite a bit before we could resume. which was annoying but by then we did the puzzles before and could easily get through them to continue where we left of.

At first glance, I thought this was going to be another puzzle game, which I am all for puzzle games, BUT this is something MORE! I laughed, I wanted to cry, I wanted to jump up and down and cheer, I wanted to jump up and down and scream. I brought my friend along for the ride, she loves puzzle games as well, and OMG. This is more than co-op puzzle solving, this is a 1000% dependent on communication and dependence on your partner(s). I thought it would be easy and possibly a pain to have to communicate with someone else, but I laughed so hard! The puzzles are definitely challenging, there is the option to ask for hints and even solutions of hints, which is a comforting bonus. I started playing with a 3 hour window set in mind and almost 6 hours later had to stop to cook dinner.

Super Marble Brothers
Good online co-op, a bit short.
– Real player with 0.7 hrs in game
No cap, this game is the worst marble game I have ever played in my 23 years of living on this planet. Like, bruh, you can’t even control your balls in the air like come on brehg. I can make better levels on a TI-84.

Bulby - Diamond Course
I want to like this game. From the overall design of the choices to the bright asthetic, I really like parts of this game. Unfortunately, the game will crash on you over and over again. This is a good first effort by the developer, but is not a finished product by any stretch. Just play Kirby’s Diamond Course.

Sadly the game has too many bugs along with some bad design choices. There is no detail behind the strength of a putt with your power meter and it isn’t that easy to understand the consistency. There is no restart option when doing poorly on a specific level. The game does not save between levels but does manually save on exit if it doesn’t crash…..the game crashed three times in 1 hour, wiping my efforts every time.
Pro: Very good job on the graphics and music.

KeyWe
Amazing game. Fun to play with your significant other or a close friend. Requires just the right amount of teamwork where you need to do a level a couple times or more to complete it if you’re going for all the achievements. Overcooked vibes, controller recommended.
This game however, gets a down vote from me due to the TERRIBLE, COMMON, AND MAJOR GLITCHES in this game that completely ruin the experience. Boxes sometimes will not move when you run into them, ruining your time on a level. Boxes sometimes cannot be pulled when you try to pull them multiple times, ruining your time on a level. Dashing will glitch out and make it so you cannot dash anymore for the remainder of the level unless you butt-drop - doing exactly the same thing when you try to dash again, ruining your time on a level. Mail sometimes being thrown into mail slots make it in the mail slots but don’t count towards score, ruining your score on a level. Buckling up the mail while it’s being fed sometimes glitches out completely and makes it so you can’t feed the animal or finish bucking up the mail - making it so you cannot complete the level at all.

KeyWe is so good i really recommend anyone that likes interesting and thoughtful co-op experiences to give this a try, it’s a truly unique experience. Even though it stands on its own if i had to compare KeyWe to anything I would say the closest gameplay loop is that of Overcooked where you’re trying to complete a common objective and need to work together in order to achieve it. various things need to be done in order to reach that goal and you’ll have to decide quickly who is doing what tasks. If you work well with the person you’re playing with this obviously makes things a lot easier to manage.

Cheer and Track
Great mechanics, great game, it had some really good pros, but no flaws at all. Character models are just amazing, artwork is stunning and my friend was able to play with me online. 10/10

PHOGS!
Excellent game of its own right but as far as games you can play cooperatively with a small child I think this might be, like, the best I’ve ever played. Was a little hesitant to pick this up at full release price but my daughter has been harping on me since we played the demo and I am happy with the decision. I have a 3 and 5 year old. Phogs’s fun and bright art style gets them excited enough to talk about throughout the day, with puzzles and gameplay that challenges without frustrating. It’s the nature of cooperative play which takes Phogs over the top for me. You can use a two controller scheme for couch-cooperative teamwork or a scheme where each controls both phogs, to help guide younger players. Either way you can help steer each other in the right direction while both are totally playing the game. Everything about it is executed well; controls, art, sound, music, gameplay. The devs definitely had a strong vision, with the talent and resources to execute it.

The Good:
This is a very fun game to play with another person in co-op.
There’s a variety of worlds and levels and for me and a friend, one complete playthrough took us about 9 hours.
The puzzles are fun and do not feel like they’re too challenging, nor does it feel like the objective of the puzzle is hard to understand.
I would not recommend playing solo as controlling both ends of the PHOG is a little tricky.
The Bad:
We ran into quite a bit of bugs while playing over online co-op with items not appearing or not showing that you’re holding an item.
