Back 2 Back wants to put couch co-op on mobile, with shooting and driving action
Back 2 Back: Two Frogs Games' Ambitious Couch Co-op Mobile Game
Two Frogs Games is challenging the norm with Back 2 Back, a two-player couch co-op mobile game. In a world dominated by remote online play, this game aims to revive the classic couch co-op experience on smartphones.
The premise? A unique twist on cooperative gameplay, inspired by titles like It Takes Two and Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes. Players assume distinct roles – one drives a vehicle through treacherous terrain (cliffs, lava, etc.), while the other acts as a gunner, fending off enemies. The constant need to switch roles adds a dynamic layer to the gameplay.
A Novel Approach (with Challenges)
The immediate question: can a couch co-op game truly thrive on mobile devices? The smaller screen size presents an obvious hurdle for single-player games, let alone two players sharing the experience.
Two Frogs Games' solution involves each player using their own phone to control a shared game session. While not the most streamlined approach, it achieves the core concept.
The potential for success is promising. The enduring appeal of in-person multiplayer gaming, as demonstrated by games like Jackbox, suggests a strong market for Back 2 Back. Whether this novel approach can overcome the inherent limitations of mobile screens remains to be seen.
