Struggling is a puzzle platformer you can either play alone or in two-player co-op, which sounds pleasant enough, and then you see the darn thing. Playing as Troy, an amalgamation of flesh and faces, you'll control the two flailing arms (one each in co-op) in order to get through four deadly worlds.
You'll be latching onto all kinds of things in order to fling yourself over obstacles, solve puzzles, and prevent your untimely demise. Along the way, you'll pick up new skills, like the ability to detach arms, slow down time, and more. It all looks pretty horrible, but that's sort of the point.
The game arrives on PlayStation 4 on 8th September, so it's not too far away. What do you think of Struggling? Will you be getting to grips with a friend in this bizarre indie game? Discuss in the comments section below.

It sounds..... Moist?
Cronenberg called; he wants his nightmare back.
Eughhhhh that’s horrible
It looks fine to me, kind of like the setting. Hoping that trying to control the character won't make me want to throw the controller in frustration.
looks a lot like Carrion
@Logonogo great game
Troy looks sexy. I dig it!
@Logonogo Other than controlling an abomination it doesn't have much in common with it. Carrion is a fast-paced bloodthirsty metroidvania whereas Struggling looks like a slow, methodical puzzle platformer where you just try to get from A to B without dying.
Carrion was also pixel art and Struggling is anything but. Mood's decidedly lighter in this one, too.
Can’t tell if it looks good or if it’s just streamer bait.
@Logonogo My thoughts too... Carrion meets Getting Over It. Artstyle is like Dethklok Metalocalypse’s gore by way of Earthworm Jim.
@AhabSpampurse called it!
