Saves you a refund- Players seeking a conventional single-character platformer may find the paired-character structure restrictive

Our take on Carly and the Reaperman - Escape from the Underworld
The defining mechanic is the split between the two heroes: one character physically arranges platforms while the other uses them to advance.
What is Carly and the Reaperman - Escape from the Underworld?
Carly and the Reaperman is an asymmetrical platforming adventure set in the Underworld.
The Reaperman, a giant character, moves and positions platforms while Carly, a smaller character, jumps across them. Players can control both characters alone or play local co-op with a friend. Progress combines platforming, environmental puzzles, hazards, and more than 50 levels across the Underworld’s spirit worlds. The game includes a story, unlockable hats and other customizations, and over 10 hours of gameplay. Online co-op is supported through Parsec’s streaming software, which connects players to local multiplayer. Valve Index Controller users can select the game’s official SteamVR binding for Knuckles support.
