❤ Immersive Sim Mechanics

The game blends together deep immersive-sim mechanics inspired by the Metal Gear Solid series. Players take control of a team of operatives and can utilize a variety of tools, hats, and strategies to complete objectives. The "Fulton" extraction system allows players to capture enemies, items, and even co-op teammates, adding a unique layer of depth to the gameplay. Each operative has their own set of positive and negative traits that affect their performance in the field, creating a high level of replayability as players experiment with different team compositions.

❤ Chaotic Slapstick Platforming

At the core, the game is a 2D slapstick platformer where the unpredictable physics and interactions between the various hats, weapons, and environmental elements lead to hilariously chaotic situations. Players must navigate treacherous levels, utilizing both stealth and action-oriented approaches to complete their objectives. The game embraces the chaos, with reviewers praising the amusing ways characters can meet their demise, whether it's slipping on a banana peel and falling to their death or being blown up by an errant explosive barrel.

❤ Tight Gameplay Loop

Reviewers highlight the addictive nature of the game's gameplay loop. Players start small, building up a team of operatives and upgrading their headquarters. They then take on a series of procedurally-generated missions, gathering resources, recruiting new operatives, and upgrading their gear. This loop of planning, executing, and then building up for the next challenge keeps players engaged and coming back for more.

❤ Cooperative and Competitive Modes

In addition to the single-player campaign, the game also offers both cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes. The co-op allows up to four players to tackle the objectives together, adding an extra layer of coordination and chaos. The competitive modes, such as the "Last Hat Standing" PVP, provide players with the opportunity to duke it out using the game's unique mechanics and tools.

❤ Emergent Gameplay

One of the most praised aspects of the game is its emergent gameplay, where the complex interactions between the various systems and elements lead to unpredictable and often hilarious outcomes. Reviewers recount numerous stories of their plans going awry in unexpected ways, only to triumph through quick thinking or pure luck. This sense of discovery and adaptability is a key part of the game's appeal.
