Review: Heave Ho (Nintendo Switch)

Heave Ho

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.

Pros:

  • Awesome graphics.
  • Two modes-co-op and solo.
  • Own in-game achievements that pop when earned.
  • 765mb download size.
  • The tutorial shows up every game (skippable) and is interactive.
  • Coins-optional but getting them grants you a roll for random costumes.
  • Levels unlocked in single player are available in Co-op and vice versa.
  • Supports joycon and Pro controller.
  • Game- you control just your arms and grab with your hands. Get to the exit.
  • Strong physics game.
  • Mini games-can show up in a level and reward coins.
  • Help-in Co-op you can get the ability to spawn helpful balloons to aid other players.
  • Instant restarts.
  • The best time is shown on each level.
  • Customise-costume, skin colour, hair, glasses, face, arms and voice.
  • Different elements get added over time like ropes, dark/light levels.
  • One of the best Co-op experiences.
  • Easy to learn.
  • Fart button-charge a fart and make other players get blown away.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
