Pros
Pro Co-op multiplayer works seamlessly across systems
There is cross platform (iOS,Android) co-op multiplayer available to all players, which works great and is easy to use, even when playing against someone on a different OS.
Pro 2 player local co-op that encourages teamwork
In 2 player co-op, each player has their own specific muffins they need to collect. These spawn in two at a time - one for each player. However, both players must get their muffin before new ones will appear. This means even after you collect your muffin, you'll have to help your teammate get theirs no matter what. It's a neat little mechanic that has you and a friend working together to navigate the map and kill enemies.
Pro Interesting shapeshifting mechanic keeps gameplay fresh
Every time you collect a muffin when going through the various levels, your character transforms into a random creature. While every form can jump and run, each one has different abilities which will change up the gameplay. There's a frog who can attack from long range his tongue, a unicorn who uses rainbow bombs, an archer who shoots arrows, and many more. You never know what form you'll take when collecting a muffin, and since there's so many muffins to collect, you'll constantly be swapping forms and trying new things throughout the entire game. It's a neat mechanic that really keeps things from getting stale, and trying out all the different forms is both interesting and fun.
Pro Stylish 3D graphics give a pleasant cartoony look
The graphics are presented in a 2D environment but are rendered in 3D, all with vibrant colors and detailing that makes the whole game look cartoony. It's a cheery and bright aesthetic that is pleasant to look at and play.
Pro Great controls allow the game to be easily controlled on a touchscreen
For what can make or break every platformer in existence, Muffin Knight luckily has great controls for a mobile title. They are very responsive and running/jumping around each level is an overall smooth experience.
