Yarn Guardians

Charming title made with a lot of love!

Seen it on GermanDevDays and patiently waited for the release. Had great fun, was pawesome (with the power of friendship)! Controls are good, art is pretty and cute, sound design is decent. Difficulty starts of low, but gets challenging over time. Bossfights are fun and level design is consistent. A few improvements would be great: - a weapons-wheel for easier yarn-switch. - An arrow pointing you into the direction of a fallen companion.

Very cute art style. Loved all the cats with different personalities.

I tested this game a few times before its release, so 1. I have a lot more time in it than Steam says, and 2. I'm a bit biased. With that out of the way: Yarn Guardians is an impressive debut from a very passionate team. It spoils you with a surprising amount of content and variety thanks to the numerous different playable characters, skills, enemy types, and levels. Besides the story campaign, it's also a fun party game with a PVP arena mode for when you have friends over, or to play with family members. Both gamepad and keyboard/mouse work great, and you can switch seamlessly between the two. The art style and writing are definitely aimed more at kids, but that doesn't mean it's not fun or too easy for adults, as the difficulty nicely ramps up in later levels. But of course, if you're used to fast-paced bullet hells, this game is obviously much more relaxed (and cute) than that.

Really cozy and positive game – perfect to relax with after work. Highlights for me: super cute cats 🐱, creative enemies with funny dialogues, and the beautiful hand-drawn art that makes everything feel warm and charming. The local multiplayer is fantastic too – had an absolute blast playing together with my wife on one device. If you’re looking for something lighthearted, fun, and full of charm, this one’s a gem!

Twin-stick combat game about cats. Animation is really cute and looks great, especially given the small dev team that worked on it. Gameplay's well balanced and designed, levels are well designed and bosses are fun to fight. May be a bit short for some but not too short given the price point and overall quality I feel. The definitely-a-cat shop owner has dialog referencing Resident Evil 4 which made me clap like a seal when I saw thing I recognized. Yeah it's good. Buy it.

Hello, fellow Cats! This is a fun little game where you scratch and shoot your way - sometimes chill, sometimes chaotic - through the bullet hell of propeller-headed bunnies and other weird enemies. The levels are well-designed, the controls feel great, and the story is genuinely funny with equally hilarious dialogue. It’s definitely a hidden gem that's totally worth checking out. A few small things the devs might want to look into: A marker that shows where your co-op partner is (especially useful when they go down), skippable convos, and maybe a slightly bigger revive range - like when your buddy's down in a trap, so you don’t die trying to save them. Overall, though, super fun and totally recommendable!
