Cons
Con Tedious level design
There is a lot of backtracking and lever pulling that gives a feeling of lazy level design to elongate the game.
Con Co-op may leave one or two players out on certain stages
Some stages do not offer gameplay for all co-op players. Although the co-op is drop in drop out, certain points of the game do not offer anything for the other players to do.
Con Doesn't work on modern Android
Crash loop.
Con Costs too much money
Con Subpar gameplay
The gameplay often times feels convoluted or just too high concept. Art in the place of gameplay, which some may enjoy, but those looking for deep game mechanics should look elsewhere.
