Nelo

developed by Magic & Mirrors  |  Platform: Windows

[gfycat data_id="WindyPerfumedDegu"][gfycat data_id="FreeRealisticJunco"][gfycat data_id="ShorttermWellwornIvorygull"]

“A hyper fast, sci-fi action game that has its own twists on the twitchy shoot em up game genres.

“Nelo Lets you play as a race of aliens who are at war against their A.I. Creations, the Nightsithe. Your Character combats the Nightsithe using four floating mechanical hands that will let you wield four different guns at once, grab and throw enemies and physics objects, and can be used for ranged melee attacks. The gameplay and movement is very fast and chaotic, allowing the player to seamlessly switch between a third person mode and a top-down twinstick shooter mode.”

Being developed by just two people in Unreal Engine 4.  Today is the last day for its Kickstarter, but it has surpassed its goal quite nicely. :)

“A chaotic co-operative cooking for 1-4 players. Working as a team, you and your fellow chefs must prepare, cook and serve up a variety of tasty orders before the baying customers storm out in a huff.

“Take part in an epic journey across the Onion Kingdom and tackle an increasingly challenging and bizarre gauntlet of kitchens which will push your skills of co-operation and co-ordination to the very limits.”

Pode

developed by Henchman & Goon  |  Platforms: Unannounced

“A puzzle adventure about friendship and cooperation.  Join Bulder the rock and Stella the star on a wonderful journey through an ancient, lush underground world filled with riddles and mysteries.”

I usually wait until there’s a bit more gameplay to show before making a full post, but I just found Pode to be super charming.   It’s still very early in development and looks like a very promising co-op game (that can also be played by one person switching characters).  The development team previously made Flem, which you can check out below.

Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime

developed by Asteroid Base

[gfycat data_id="OrganicHonorableHarvestmen"]lovers 2lovers 1[gfycat data_id="SorePitifulAmoeba"]lovers 4lovers 3[gfycat data_id="AptWaterloggedCoypu"]

“A frantic 1- or 2-player couch co-op action space shooter. Explore a colorful galaxy in a massive neon battleship that you control together by manning turrets, lasers, shields and thrusters. Only through teamwork can you triumph over the evil forces of Anti-Love, rescue kidnapped space-bunnies, and avoid a vacuumy demise. Deep space is a dangerous place, but you don’t have to face it alone!

“2 players (or 1 player plus a loyal AI space-pet) need to work together to man the different battle stations, dashing back and forth between weapons, shields and engines. Both players fill important roles at all times, and nobody gets left behind.”

Out for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Xbox One

Yonder

developed by venturous

yonder light[gfycat data_id="PartialTintedLamprey"]yonder wateryonder light2[gfycat data_id="LiveNecessaryGeese"][gfycat data_id="SmoggyYoungCats"]

“A two-dimensional cooperative adventure game with emphasis on traversal, discovery and companionship. Explore, solve puzzles and unravel a mystery together. Whether you decide to play Yonder by yourself or cooperatively, the adventure will revolve around interactions between the characters of the game and their surroundings.”

Currently being developed by two brothers for PC, Mac, and consoles, with a release date in 2016.  You can follow the development on the TIGForums.

Apologies for the gif quality.  The footage available mostly includes the awesome lighting, which makes getting a 256 colour gif at the correct size (that looks good) really difficult.  Dreaming of the day when Tumblr supports HTML5 “gifs”.

Parafractum

developed by Bernoulli Games

[gfycat data_id="ShadowyImpossibleGonolek"]parafractum peepsparagractum night[gfycat data_id="AmazingFlamboyantCrustacean"]parafractum title

“A 2D platform game set in a procedurally generated world. Go wherever you want in a vast world which is different every time you play. Find and collect loot to customize and enhance your character. Trade with, threaten or fight survivors to get what you need.

Beat permadeath, by unlocking checkpoints and new features for future playthroughs. Uncover the many secrets this world has to offer and destroy a great evil within – alone, or with a friend.”

Still in very early development, but the art style already looks pretty great, and I’m excited about another co-op roguelike.

[gfycat data_id="PeskyEasygoingAiredaleterrier"]tetrapulse bluetetrapulse beam[gfycat data_id="FrayedLeafyHalibut"]tetrapulse yellowtetrapulse rd[gfycat data_id="FaintFaroffAzurewingedmagpie"]

A co-op action game for two to four players.  While moving around the world you must carry around and protect a relic which restores your energy when holding it.  Shooting your laser drains your energy, so you have to balance between the two, and coordinate with your partner so that you don’t drain yourself of energy and get overrun.
