🎮 Controls

You can play using a keyboard or a game controller, but we recommend using a controller for the best experience.

👥 Local & Online Multiplayer

  • The game supports local co-op and remote co-op using Parsec.

  • Regardless of play mode, you will need at least (number of players - 1) controllers.

  • When using Parsec, keep in mind that keyboard input is treated as a single shared input source, so only one player can use the keyboard.

Currently supports up to 4 players
