Friendship and physics collide and then comedically fall over in this cute little offspring of Katamari and Fall Guys. You play as a little blob that needs to gather its friends on a pretty island, which is accomplished by running up to them and grabbing their hands. As the chain of friends grows longer, it also grows more unwieldy, resulting in a chaotic undulating mob. Online and couch co-op multiplayer allows friends to join the messy silly pile, and clever puzzles thicken the plot. A demo version, out now, has somewhat unpolished controls โ€” it sometimes feels more like youโ€™re fighting with the game than playing it โ€” but that will hopefully be addressed in the final release. When you were a kid, did you have that playground game where all the kids join hands and then swing each other around, whipping the adults into a terror that someoneโ€™s arm was going to get dislocated? Itโ€™s that, but with humming monkey-aliens.

Release date: February 10.

Platforms: Steam and Switch.
