We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Retro puzzle-platformer fans who want a rescue-themed solo campaign
- Local pairs who prefer taking turns on the same system
- Creative players who want to construct custom platforming stages
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking combat-focused action rather than puzzle-platforming may lose interest in the core gameplay.
- Players expecting online or simultaneous multiplayer may stop at the local, turn-based co-op format.
- Players who do not want to create custom stages may find the level editor irrelevant.
Our take on Koala Kids
The likely bounce point is the multiplayer format: players expecting simultaneous or online co-op will find turn-taking on one system instead. The level editor creates another divide, since players focused only on preset campaign content may have no reason to use it.
What is Koala Kids?
Koala Kids is a retro-style puzzle-platformer in which a koala rescues friends held by hunters.
The game includes a single-player campaign and local hot-seat co-op for two players taking turns on the same system. A built-in level editor lets players create their own stages. Its gameplay combines platforming with puzzle solving and draws on the style of Lode Runner.
