I did enjoy it. I love the fact you need someone else to play with to progress thru the puzzles. Although... it is difficult to find someone that isn't expecting you to play through in one sitting or would accept playing over dm instead of the voice chat (some of us have kids and that makes that difficult!!) I can see that voice chat would be faster and more efficient, it's just not feasible for all. Good job Rusty Lake!! can't wait to try the other perspectives

Hi Lindsey, happy to hear that you loved the co-op gameplay, we understand that the communication doesn't always run smoothly due to external factors. We do hope that you'll enjoy playing the game in the other mode from a different perspective!

Had lots of fun playing on both butterfly and bee mode! I will say that playing the second time after knowing the puzzles, kinda felt like I was cheating helping out my game partner. Definitely had more fun playing the first time, so I do wish it was a tad different playing the second time around. I will say that I loved the co-op! Super easy to find partners on Discord! I've never delved into the Rusty Lake community, and it was fun to talk with my partners about lore. Excited for the next one!

First time playing rusty lake game and it was fun. I do agree with other user when playing it for the 2nd time it felt like cheating and less fun because you knew what to look for. I did hope it would be longer but it was kind of short, hopefully an update would add more content or next chapter would be longer and playing reverse role would have different puzzles. Edited

As always, another excellent addition to the Rusty Lake series. Started playing these way back in the day when they first came out as flash games on sites like Armor Games. Never disappoint. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for this series. Not too difficult but not too easy either. Definitely eerie, not quite creepy, that fine line. I have no one to play with so I did it using my phone and tablet. So if anyone is curious, it works that way and was just as fun. 10/10, would recommend.

The past within was *amazing.* I was playing with someone who has never played any of the Rusty Lake games before and they were also just in awe of how much thought and planning went into everything. The 3D artstyle was just so good -- you guys captured the same classic rusty lake vibe and enhanced it despite adding an entire dimension of complexity. And I love that both players get a chance to play around in 3d. I would love to see some new chapters for this game itself!

Thanks so much for the big compliment! We've worked hard to bring you this co-op experience, so it means a lot to hear that you've liked the two player format so much. And it sounds like we have a new fan :)
