This popular co-op puzzle platform definitely had a lot of excitement building up around it, but the length of the actual gameplay has left those that bought the game disappointed.

"Right off the bat I will say that we are proud of the game and what we have achieved overall. We think it's a fun game and we don't think it's too expensive either considering all the elements we have been able to put into the game," Frozenbyte VP Joel Kinnunen said in an official statement this week, according to Polygon. "However, our view is perhaps skewed, and we are now realizing that we have been looking at this perhaps from a different perspective and that many players do not accept that. We still think the game is good but the cliffhanger story and the relative shortness of the game are valid criticisms but ones which we didn't realize would cause a disappointment in this scale. Sorry!"

Kinnunen went on to explain that six to seven hours was the amount of time the team assumed players would spend on the game. He was wrong. The VP also said that there won't be any DLC for the title, but continuing the story after its cliffhanger ending is definitely some worth talking about, but only if fans can move past the length of this title.
