Tipston Salvage has been an absolute blast to play through with my partner. We love challenging coop games, and TS checks a lot of the same boxes as Overcooked, including the charm.

Much of the challenge is trying to keep pathways clear enough to maneuver while managing multiple timers for incoming junk and outgoing shipments. Each level is cleverly designed to provide unique challenges based on a small number of solid core mechanics. Chasing gold and platinum times can feel daunting at first, but so far we've been able to progressively find ways to shave down our time. There's still a few levels for which platinum times feel impossible, but I'm sure we'll make it eventually!

Smashing performance - highly recommended and we would instantly pay for any additional content Pontus decides to release!

Edit: I've played through some of the single-player campaign, and it's amazing how well Pontus has balanced the levels for each player count.

One of the few randomly generated rogue-lites that manages to get everything balanced juuuust right. All of the systems mesh nicely to give you a sense of accomplishment when you've figured out how to game them just-so to maximize your run, and cascade perfectly into failure when you screw up!

Similar in feel to Zach's prior game, SpaceChem, the unlimited area and variety of manipulators allow for more creativity in solutions and the creation of some truly beautiful machines.

Clunky, repetive, shallow, and unresponsive gameplay mixed with minimally animated enemies and "humor" in the loosest sense of the word. The 45-minute journey was 46 minutes too long.

Addicting and mindbending. Provides a novel algorithmic environment with a suprising amount of depth. Even for a computer scientist, there is always another optimization technique to discover!
