About damn time although local multiplayer would've been beneficial

Disappointed about the lack of MP: wanted to play this with my kid, but it's not a dealbreaker. Look forward to playing this.

In-game purchased for a single-player platformer would be a little unhinged lol…though I’m glad they’ve clarified. (The industry has become a bit unhinged as of lately, so I guess it’s not impossible that could’ve happened…)

So classic single player platformer game? I'm fine with that. Although weird to couple that with the MTX news but that seems to be news nowadays sadly.
