![]() I recommend just jumping right into online play and finding a Party Mode server to play on. The single player campaign mode was scrapped midway through development to focus on the other aspects of the game, which is fine unless you are aiming to be the next Team Meat and create the most challenging levels to play, as there really is nothing here for single player. There are no tutorials, so creating levels is done entirely by trial and error. There really is no sort of tutorial on how everything works, and trying to build a level by yourself is akin to putting together an IKEA PAX Wardrobe without the instructions (okay maybe not THAT difficult). It turns out you have to have more than one player to play it, but going in blind there is nothing to tell you that Freeplay is the only mode that can be done single player to make levels. I started in Creative Mode and couldn’t figure out why the level I was standing on wasn’t opening. There is no guide, no instructions, and selecting a mode by yourself and then jumping on a platform may not do anything. ![]() The first time you play the game, you may not be exactly sure where to go or what to even do. That is not to say it isn’t without its problems though. I can’t recommend it enough for anyone that is looking for a multiplayer party game with which to troll your friends (or random online players). There’s something about the randomness of it all, and relying on the courtesy of others not to screw everyone over, and then watching them lay that spike trap to do exactly that, is where the magic of this game comes from. These moments and many others like them were had in Party Mode. Having the same arrow turn myself and another player online into a raccoon-horse shish kabob became the highlight of the night. Watching a friend fall to a platform, only to be perfectly gutshot in midair by a hockey puck had me nearly falling out of my chair in a fit of laughter. ![]() ![]() Chat is easy to use, and quick emote responses are just a button press away. This mode has already led me to many hours of hilarity, rage, shock, and revenge, which I could easily illustrate with a handy dialogue emote like those found in many MMO’s, albeit a stripped down version. The complex gauntlet of traps and various platforms that can be built here quickly leads to a sometimes staggering challenge, which becomes even more impressive when you thread the needle between two moving traps perfectly to snag a coin for bonus points and snatch victory from the claws (or hooves) of your opponents. Players have to be quick if they want to grab the piece they want before someone else does. Choose and place your item, but you have to think fast. ![]()
