The game is a 2D two player coop jump puzzle game. The players play as animals trying to escape a flood by climbing up a tree. One player plays a night animal that can only see when they are inside the tree and the other plays a day animal that can only see when they are outside the tree. They need to guide each other through jump puzzles and obstacles when one of them can’t see.

Momentum Drift is a racing game with sharp, demanding corners. By temporarily disabling the grip the player can angle the vehicle before a corner, making it possible to take corners sharper than 90 degrees. The vehicle is able to stick to any surface, such as walls or ceilings, making you consider alternate paths through the track.
Choose from a range of characters, each with a unique machine that handles differently on the track.Take your vehicle to different environments and compete on tracks spanning a big stadium, the grand city, a lush mountainside and the dark and neon-lit underworld known as The Slug.
