Four super-powered lab animals try to escape the experiments and maze of a mad scientist. Play alone by switching between characters, or team up with others in co-op for up to four players.
Each animal has a different physics-based ability: create ice blocks, push objects, pull them, or swap places with them. Combine these powers to cross obstacles and solve puzzles, which can have more than one solution.
The campaign moves through a sequence of laboratory stages, mixing puzzles with encounters where you use the characters' powers against enemies or to protect a target. Additional modes include timed challenges, star-rated trials, and competitive play.
Players describe the game as an enjoyable, short co-op puzzler, especially when played with friends. Reviews praise the character powers and physics-based puzzles, as well as the humor and dialogue. Some players found the puzzles too easy or repetitive, and others criticized the controls or controller setup.
