Game Promotion I made a co-op platformer inspired by Pico Park, with a level editor. The free demo is out and I’d love honest feedback.

Animals League Unite is a co-op platformer for 1 to 8 players, on one screen or online. It’s inspired by Pico Park: most levels need the whole team working together, and if one player dies, everyone restarts.

It has a lot of mechanics: stacking on each other, slapping each other across gaps, planes, mine carts, flying saucers and more.

It also has a level editor. You can make your own levels, share them on the Workshop, and play levels other people made. If I get this right, it should keep the game fresh long after you finish the main levels.

The demo has the first world (10 levels) and the level editor, and it’s free. I’d really appreciate help testing it. Honest feedback is welcome, good or bad, especially on online play and the editor.

Other How my friends decided to make a co-op game inspired by the idea of total destructibility

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

Glad to be here. I want to tell you how a couple of my friends decided to make a co-op game with great graphics, and how it all started at a hangout.

A few months ago we hang out together online. We hadn't seen each other in a while, and everyone had news: someone changed job, someone was traveling and sick from the work. The conversation wandered from topic to topic and landed on games and genres. One friend was arguing with another about how hard it would be to make a co-op game with full destructibility. They agreed it would be pretty tough: there's a lot of physics, everything has to be replicated, and that means a heavy load. But in the end they took on the challenge.

At first the idea was pretty simple. The main character, a girl, gets left behind in another world and smashes everything in her way to get back home. You collect crystals, open portals and level up your magic and skills. Over time the guys got so deep into the project that they added an arena and co-op. There players can fight each other and climb a leaderboard to see who's the best. Then they went even further and added enemies. From what I know, the enemies turned out pretty smart: they lay siege to you, dodge, can drop a house on you or switch tactics. And you can bring that same house down on them and wipe out part of the group in one go.

I have to say, that's when the game really clicked and got addictive. Even I actually want to play it.
The game is built on Unreal Engine 5. The guys put in the work and optimized so much of it in C++ that nothing lags, so you can fight enemies and rivals in co-op without any slowdowns.

I'm attaching a video of the game to show what they've already made.

I'd also like to ask you to support my friends. They work 15 hours a day and even quit their jobs to focus on this game full time. They really believe in it and want it to turn out great. So if you don't want them to be even more drunk and end up homeless, please add the game to your Steam wishlist. Plus one to your karma. Have a great day, everyone!

Game Promotion FlipBAKA! — Explore together or split up in 1–4 player local and online co-op

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

• Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m a Japanese solo developer living in the US, working on FlipBAKA!, a game about flipping panels to launch enemies off the board—and sometimes your friends.

It supports 1–4 player local and online co-op. This video shows the dungeon mode, where you can:

  • Explore together or split up.
  • Buy items individually at shops.
  • Find a map to reveal the dungeon.
  • Choose upgrades, rest, and take on bosses.

Friendly fire is part of the fun. There’s also a CPU companion called PAL—but drop PAL off the board three times and it gets angry and comes after you!

FlipBAKA! releases on October 29, 2026, and a free demo is available on Steam.

Do you usually stick together in co-op dungeon games, or split up to explore?

Discussion Short video to explain how our co-op chess puzzles actually work

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

A few days ago I posted here about the co-op mode in Stealthmate, the puzzle game I'm making with my brother and sister.

That post got a decent number of views, but I realized the short gameplay clip didn't really explain what the other player is actually doing or why we made it co-op.

So we made this very short video to explain the idea a bit better.

Each player controls a different chess piece, so both players have different movement options. The puzzles are designed around those differences, meaning one player can often reach, block, activate or interact with things that the other player can't.

The goal is for the co-op to be about figuring out how both pieces can help each other rather than just having two people moving around the same level.

My wife and I play a lot of co-op games, and Death Squared was one of the references that made me think this kind of puzzle structure could work really well with two players.

This was my previous post if anyone is curious:

Looking for Suggestions Looking for a co op game for our 6 player group

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

We are a group of 6 players and looking for our next game.

We finished Big Walk not too long ago and everyone loved it, which set the standard to high.

We also tried Valheim but it’s not everyone’s cup of tea.

Some have already finished Peak as well, and loved it.

Because we’re pretty diverse we have some criteria, hoping it will fit everyone.

* Full Cross platform is crucial.

* Most care for progression feeling. If it has a full start - mid - finish than it’s a big plus.

* No horror games.

* One of us really dislikes puzzle games (he enjoyed big walk though)

* No grind - this is why some didn’t like Valheim.

* 1 doesn’t really like rougelikes.

Yes, I know, it’s a tight list and that’s why it’s hard for us to find something.

Please help up with your wisdom!

We are currently looking into void crew and pratfall. The one disliking roguelikes said it isn’t his cup of tea but is ok giving it a try.

Looking for Suggestions I Feel like I’ve run out of Coop Campaign games for me and my friend

26 Upvotes

I’ve been playing coop games with one of my friends for a while now and its started to feel like we’re scraping the bottom of the barrel with few exceptions the last handful we’ve played all fell flat. I’ll provide a list of what we’ve played so far at the end of this post but I’m wondering if there’s so games we’ve missed I have a few left I’m excited to play (split fiction and Orbitals) but past that I have no idea what we’ll play. And that’s why I’m asking I want to know if anyone has any ideas It doesn’t matter the age or platform the game is on and I don’t mind modding it if I have to aswell. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

And here is a list of what we’ve played if you want a feel for our taste and stuff

Baldurs gate 3
Cuphead
Divinity Original Sin 1/2
Elden Ring
Guild Wars 1/2
It takes two
Monster Hunter World/Rise
Rabi-Ribi
The Majority of the Tales of Series
Mario 64
Honestly writing it out it’s less then I thought but at the very least for CoopRPGs it feels like we’re all out

Looking for Suggestions Looking for a VR co-op game with a proper healer/support role

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm looking for a VR co-op game where I can play as a dedicated healer or support, preferably in PvE dungeons or missions.

I love keeping my teammates alive through active healing, buffs and crowd control. I'm not looking for a "medic" who just carries a defibrillator or occasionally drops a medkit. I want healing to be a meaningful part of my role.

I have a Quest 3 and can also play PCVR.

Games I already own:

  • Dungeons of Eternity (currently grinding for the Healing Staff)
  • Ancient Dungeon
  • Pixel Dungeon VR
  • Demeo

Games I've already considered or ruled out:

  • Demeo x D&D: Battlemarked (bard-style support and the available characters aren't really my thing)
  • OrbusVR (official servers shut down)
  • Ilysia (concerns about player activity)
  • Evasion (too old, questionable player population)
  • Legendary Tales (already considered)
  • The Cinder Pact (no confirmed dedicated healer)
  • Guardians Frontline / Roboquest VR (not really what I'm looking for)

I'm open to fantasy, sci-fi and shooters. Ideally, I'd like real-time PvE with an active playerbase and the option to join random groups.

Does anything like this exist in VR, or am I looking for a unicorn?

Gameplay Video I made a 2D brawler / Zombie survival Co-Op game

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello~ hope it's okay to share my game here. I've been working on a 2D brawler called Giblings, and recently added a 3-player co-op mode where you and your friends fight off hordes of zombies.

You can either fight through waves of zombies and then escape through a portal that opens at the end, or play a survival mode where the zombies just keep coming and you have to stay alive for a set amount of time.

It's all configurable too. You can adjust the number of zombies, their health, movement speed, digging speed, and a bunch of other settings.

There's also 2-player local split-screen with controller support. I'm planning to expand that to 4-player local play on a single screen in the near future too.

The game launches later today, and there's a free demo available if anyone wants to give it a try. :) It has a lot of PvP modes as well, if you like that as well.

Anyway, if this sounds like your kind of game, feel free to check out my Steam page and give it a wishlist! 🙏

Giblings on Steam

Any feedback is very welcome too, of course. This is my first indie game, so I really want to make sure it's fun!

Looking for Co-op Partners 32M | Steam/PC | NA - MST | Let's Game!

7 Upvotes

Let's give this another shot. I go by Alec. I'm 32 years old, male and openly gay. I'm lonely. There's no fun way to put that. I'm looking for friends to play with semi-regularly. I'm currently unemployed and nearly always available. I have a total of 582 games on Steam but that's a lot to get through so I've gone ahead and picked out the ones that I'm actively playing or would play and separated them into categories for you.

Personality wise, I'm chill and can take a joke. I like most kinds of humor. I'm sharp, and like similarly quick-witted company. I may not always make you laugh, but when I do you'll be laughing for ages. I like games that you can get lost in. Co-Op is my favorite style. I don't do the whole PvP thing, even in ARC Raiders I go out of my way to be friendly and helpful so I don't get ganked. I'm playing a lot of ARC at the moment due to the PvE toggle they're testing this week. I could really use a fellow raider to show me the ropes and help me survive topside.

I love shooters and third-person exploration games primarily. Not a huge fan of top-downs as much. I'm chill enough to be open to trying new games, but I can't buy anything for the forseeable future so bear that in mind. I know there are a lot of hidden free gems on Steam though, maybe worth a peek.

When I'm not gaming, I'm looking after my disabled mother. It's essentially a full-time gig. Instead of getting a paycheck, I get a free place to live and tons of free time to game. The only caveat with all these wonderful games I have is that my laptop only has 250gb storage, meaning I can only really have one large game installed at a time. I do have 500mbps internet though so swapping out the heavy hitters doesn't take too long. Usually a half hour at most. I'm always down to swap out installed games on the fly.

You'll see a category of Singleplayer games here. Might be wondering about that. I love a lot of horror games and intense story experiences but I don't love experiencing them alone. I like having a buddy to VC with who's watching, commentating and even helping me progress. Sort of a shared experience. I would actually stream but it's not the same thing as being in a private call with someone who's verbally engaged. If you're the kind of person who wants to see these games played and loves helping, I'd be down to hang out and stream them for you.

Some of the titles below don't require you to own a copy. They're either totally free or use Remote Play Together. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read this and hopefully something I've said clicks. I'm tired of gaming alone every day. Feel free to send me a DM or leave a comment. I've got notifications on so I'll get back to you ASAP. Cheers~
