Flat Heroes
When was the last time you felt like a hero? Flat Heroes rewards you with that good old feeling of surviving impossible levels alongside a smooth modern design with a minimalist style. With a simple set of movements — Run. Jump. Dash. Attack. — and delightful controls, Flat Heroes encourages you to stylishly navigate and survive over 300 handcrafted levels, destroy the most epic bosses around and truly be the two-dimensional hero (or heroes!) you’ve always dreamed you could be. Easy to learn and hard to master; it is easy to pick up and even easier to learn, but don’t let that fool you! During your adventure you will face increasingly difficult challenges that will require you to master the game’s controls on the journey to becoming a true Hero. And while Flat Heroes comes along with a very minimalistic art style, it’s spiced up with stunning effects making it one truly unique eye candy experience.

The physics are definitely sort of janky, but it's on purpose, and the levels are short enough that it more feels funny when you fail because your cube rolled weirdly and not frustrating. It's also definitely possible to get really good at the controls, so the weird controls just lead to a higher skill ceiling which is fun.
If you get easily irritated by randomness, and inprecise controls, then I suggest to stay away. Also the campaign mode has coop, but a lot of the time the levels are way easier solo, so if you're planning to buy the game for coop, I think you'd get most enjoyment out of the versus mode. Although again, if you're ok with randomness and many silly deaths, the campaign in coop is fun too.

Fun simplistic platformer with some really cool boss battle, some of the bosses are pretty challenging but the game is great overall.

Just started going through this game with my wife. It supports up to 4-players locally, and it's SUPER fun in co-op.
The controls are easy to pick up, and you can figure out the route you're supposed to take after a couple attempts. We've both had a ton of fun as even when one of us dies, the other can carry on the torch!... or die trying!!
We got through the first 3 worlds (each world being 9 or 10 levels + boss fight) pretty quickly, but I'm fairly experienced at platforming games. And the worlds are ramping up as time goes on, so I don't expect to keep breezing through them this easily.
I would say the $10 price tag is quite fair considering some of the other games I see going for more and delivering far less.
I highly recommend becoming a Flat Hero.

This is probably a best game ever made (in some sense). It's really simplistic, old school but it's brutal in difficulty, it's couch co-op, kids love it, we love it. It's just an amazing achievement in minimalistic perfection, truly.

Good, exciting, puzzling action game-play, but the controls are really hard to figure out - especially if you are not using a controller. My mouse suddenly stopped working, and I have yet to figure out how to access the "options" menu.
The interface could use a lot of work.

I've been looking for a new game to play co-op with my friends after we've gone through Just Shapes & Beats multiple times and this absolutely fills that same craving wonderfully.

Very fun, specially with friends, but the final boss is total crap, I don't know why the devs would put a shoot mechanic in the last boss of the game. Anyways, fun with friends.
