Description
Heave Ho tasks up to four players with a simple goal – don’t fall to your death! Players will use their own two hands and the outstretched grip of their friends to grapple across each level on their way to victory. Grab one another’s hands, climb across dangling bodies, and swing your pals to safety in a wobbly, dangly mass of limbs. Customize your character with all manner of stylish accessories and zany accouterment in a vain attempt to remember who you are and which of your hands is the only thing between you and the plummet of doom.

With fun presentation and a well designed co-op platforming mechanic Heave Ho is certainly a great new addition to the party game genre.

Heave Ho is the life of the party: wild and magnetic with a few surprises up its sleeve. Play it on your own, however, and it's not quite as much fun to hang with.

Heave Ho is a fun multiplayer game that provides plenty of laughter – provided you play with three of your friends.

Fun For The Whole Family

This is one of those games that can be enjoyed by the entire family, including small children. The controls can be a bit tricky at first, but every new level walks you through the mechanics in a really natural way. I've been playing this with my son, and he's been having a blast. The game can't help but bring people together with the quirky gameplay, so feel free to add this game to your family's game night.

Fun for all

This game is fun for everyone in the family. We had our living room PC set up with 4 xbox controllers and we had a hoot. My 5 yr old, 8 yr old and my wife all had a good time with this game. Added bonus - it actually helps your kids learn their left and right. way cool little game, such a surprise.

Fun and very good quality for the price

Very simple and fun game. The most fun can be had in coop mode and the devs even thought of assitance for people who struggle. It is even integrated in a very fun and fitting way. :)

Best (co-op) game. EVER

It's really easy to understand but a ton of fun. It is player expression heavy, so the enjoyment of the game may relay there. I would say it runs in almost any PC. Lots of variety.
