I also encountered a glitch where one of my kiwis got stuck on a crane and another technical issue prevented me from beating a level despite fulfilling the right criteria.

When playing one of the stages the tutorial just didn't appear even after resetting the software, so I was left clueless as to what to do. On top of single-player being a chore to play through, I also encountered several bugs and these even caused me to abandon streaming the game.

Having to keep switching between characters just destroys any type of flow and you'll often find that the bird you are not controlling has been carried off by a bug or swallowed by a vine whilst you weren't looking. When playing alone you can push the L and R buttons (on Switch) to move between both birds and holding them together allows you to control them at the same time. This I would absolutely advise against as it can feel awfully tedious to control both birds at once and you lack that hilarious back and forth that you'd have with a co-op partner. Obviously, KeyWe is more geared towards playing with a friend, but the option is also there to play solo. These collectibles can then be displayed in your kiwi's own personal section of the post office and they are a fun incentive to return back to levels. This isn't all that you can spend your stamps on, as you can also purchase hints on where you can find certain special collectibles. The selection of items here is vast with you being able to change the fur colour, hairstyle, and outfits of your feathered friends. There's certainly fun to be had here with a friend, but even with these hazards, the mini-games quickly start to feel repetitive and I couldn't help but crave more.Ĭompleting mini-games rewards you with a score of either bronze, silver, or gold and you'll receive a set amount of stamps too that you can spend on cosmetics. As mentioned, things get quickly more challenging as you'll have to combat obstacles later on such as tornados that will blow shreds of paper away and vines that can swallow up you and your partner whole. The third of these see you assembling packages for delivery and the final one is a rush to file everything correctly in the drop-off depot.Īs you only have a fleeting amount of time, teamwork and coordination are essential, and there are plenty of pitfalls that you can fall into if you don't pay attention. The second takes place in the transcription room, and here you need to listen to an audiotape and collect the right shreds of paper that are scattered around you before combining them into a message. The first of these sees you type out telegrams by hopping on the typewriters around you and inputting the correct letters. In KeyWe there are essentially only four mini-games within its core mode that are mixed up with different hazards as you progress. It strives to capture the tense and chaotic nature of the titles I've previously mentioned, but sadly, the execution isn't the smoothest especially when played solo.

The latter of these titles tasks you with running a post office, whilst playing as a pair of kiwis known as Jeff and Debra. The genre is now bursting with choice and even over the last few months, we have received several new entries such as Very Very Valet, Shakes on a Plane, and KeyWe.

The release of Overcooked and the Nintendo Switch really kickstarted a resurgence for co-op party games in the latter part of the last decade.
