The Stretchers

About

You and a friend play as medics trying to save townsfolk zapped by Captain Brains' Dizzies. The game lets you team up for co-op or juggle two medics alone as you haul dazed targets through wacky obstacle courses. Every level forces you to balance speed and stability while wrestling with physics puzzles. You can stack multiple Dizzies on a stretcher and drag them together or split up to rescue individuals one by one. The same mission can be tackled in countless ways depending on how you handle weight distribution and environmental hazards. The Stretchers stands out for its flexible problem solving and goofy charm. Each map hides extra challenges and collectibles that tweak the experience on repeat plays. With 8.5 user ratings on Metacritic, fans praise the creative mechanics and teamwork options. Available since November 8 2019 on Nintendo Switch, it’s a short but satisfying puzzle game that rewards experimentation. The humor in the world and characters keeps the physics grind from feeling too repetitive.
