A downloadable game

Help Mandy Bow and Davey Bones retrieve their lost bones. Two lovers tied by the red string of fate, they must use the power of love to overcome obstacles. Perform amazing acrobatic feats by tugging or boosting your partner. But be careful! With the power to tug at each other's heartstrings, mutual understanding is required. However, communication can be difficult when you're flying across the sky (or a skeleton with no jaw)! Solidarity is key! Play alone (swapping between Mandy and Davey) or with a friend (recommended)!
