It’s been over a year since I made Socceteo in s&box and I’ve been itching to prototype another game mode since. S&box has had so many changes since then and I wanted to get up to speed with the changes!
The basic idea is - what if multiple people controlled a single character? Hopefully a rage-inducing, yet fun cooperative puzzle game!

The mechanics of the game are fairly simple:
- Each player gets a cursor, but there’s a team crosshair which is the direction the character faces and moves
- Everyone can contribute movement inputs, but you will only move if the majority of the team agree (represented by ? changing to a??)
- Everyone can jump a little bit, but to make the big jumps you’ll have to combine jumps into one powerful one.
I didn't have enough time to really explore any of the fun puzzle elements, but I do feel there's a lot of potential for some really interesting mechanics in the future! As always working in s&box was a treat, the new scene system is really something.
