Degrees of Separation is a beautiful puzzle-platformer centered on two characters controlling heat and cold. Its heartfelt story and unique mechanics, requiring cooperation, make it a charming experience. However, its slow pacing and relatively simple puzzles might leave players craving more challenge.

Cute little puzzle game! I would highly recommend with close friends or partners. Just a tip, do not feel ther need to try and avoid looking some of them up if necessary, some are in dumb spot or require ridiculous ways to pick them up, and it will cause a lot less stress and tension if you just look some of them up lol. The music is gorgeous and soothing, and the ambiance and art of the game are lovely. Excellent little indie game for the price, worth it, even more so when on sale.

My partner bought us both this game, so We could play it together.
It has nice idea of using 2 seasons to your advantage in logic and platforming and has nice graphical settings too.
But what really bugged us both was that You have to do the Puzzles and collect those lanterns in order to move in Story which makes the Whole Game grindfest and We were pretty disappointed about it.
If you really wanna play chill COOP game with your significant other, friend or anyone you are in good relationship with then this game isn't really it unless you both really like grinding.
There isn't anything else that would make us not recommend this game. It all depends on each individual's tastes.

Enjoyed this game with my wife, it was a cute and fun little adventure. Took us a little over 8 hrs to complete and chase down the the last few achievements. Very fun to blow up and launch your partner.
