But the joy is in the co-op: this was made to be played two-player, ideally with a parent and a child. Everything is made from cardboard and textiles, giving it a homely feel. This is a hugely characterful and gorgeous little platformer that takes a leaf out of Little Big Planet’s book and makes the world tactile.
We had little hope for it, mainly because the idea of a platformer where you play a cardboard box seemed lazy and unappealing. One of the real surprises this year was Pile Up!: Box by Box.
