One of the most original and best executed co-op games

Chaos. Just complete chaos. Trying to play this with a friend in local co-op was a great and destructive endeavor. The game is actively trying to make you kill each other (and yourself).

The basic system behind this game works really well and I'm kind of surprised that I can't recall any other game that has used this mechanic. The player is given a few different formulas to memorize that each effect the others in different ways. But when things get more hectic you actually feel the pressure of trying to pull of the right combination and aim it at the right target. That feeling of pressure to do the right thing at the right moment is really well executed. The voice acting with the half Swedish, half gibberish is awesome too. I know that there has been a lot of reports of bugs, but while completing the game in local co-op we only experienced one game-crashing bug.

This is one of the most original and best executed co-op games I've played in quite a while and I recommend it wholeheartedly.
