I got this game on the Switch's launch day and tried to play it a bunch of times with friends, but inevitably we always ended up feeling a little awkward and embarrassed about the fact that we were a bunch of haggered late-twenties men hunched over a cutesy papercraft game, clutching little multi-coloured controllers that looked ridiculous in our big stupid ham-hands. Thus, the game languished at the bottom of my library for four years.

Cut to present day, and ~my girlfriend~ and I have exhausted most of the good co-op games the Switch has to offer. She ends up buying this on the eShop, only for me to realise about halfway into the second level that I actually own a copy already. Woops!! Awkward!!! At least it's cheap!!!

This is primo Girlfriend Gaming right here! Is this the first romantic co-op game? Uwa... After playing through the first few stages, it totally makes sense why this game gave me the self-conscious willies when played with The Boys - it's all about that to-and-fro negotiation between couples, sprinkled with all these tiny intimate moments, like when you sidle up close to make some adjustments to your partner Snipperclip and they start giggling - so cute! I love it... You might think I'm reading too much into it, but the last couple of levels involve protecting a little group of babies from a variety of hazards before putting them down to sleep. And then the game implies that the Snipperclips fuck! Whoa!! N-Nintendo!!!

The game's puzzles are rarely difficult, but that isn't really where the fun of the game lies - the best moments are found in sharing something cute with someone close to you. Or fiendishly fucking them over so that you can see your Snipperclip do a little shit-eating grin. It's fun!!
