Each puzzle in the carnival is themed after events that will appear familiar to anyone who’s ever visited a county fair. For example, a water dunking tank hides one of the tickets, but in order to recover it you need to send one of your characters into the depths below the tank. Luckily, the Hillbilly comes equipped with a special power allowing him to hold his breath indefinitely.

As ever, Double Fine’s trademark charm and wit is on full display here – albeit with a decidedly darker tinge to the proceedings.

It is, in other words, definitely a Ron Gilbert game at heart.

Worthplaying

It’s a subtle mental shift, but it’s an absolutely brilliant way of thinking about a co-op game. When playing, the two of us were seamlessly shifting between characters as we constantly discussed possible solutions to each puzzle. The specific character under control became irrelevant. There were no individual scores or custom goals that pushed us in opposite directions. We were two complete strangers, and we were playing as one integrated team because that’s how the design of the game encouraged us to play.

“The hillbilly carries a torch for the Amazing Two-Legged Lady,” the cave informed us as we tumble into a subterranean carnival, where the hillbilly’s story begins. He wants to earn the love of the Two-Legged Lady by gathering enough tickets to buy her a pink, stuffed bear. Our first ticket is stolen right out of the hands of a child. It’s not the nicest thing to do, but it’s all in the name of love.
