Gameplay
The game is a 2D platformer as you play as Collin and race through the levels, facing enemies and obstacles. Collin, besides his speed, also has a grappling hook that allows him to bring enemies closer to him, swing across ledges and move up platformers and a punch attack. Each level is split into two episodes, each with a different setpiece and a miniboss, as beating the miniboss causes you to free one of your friends.
