Perspective-based puzzler Superliminal has co-op nowTurn your friends into pawns and bend the world
Turn your friends into pawns and bend the world
Have you ever wanted to use your friends as literal pawns to help you solve puzzles? Well now you can!Superliminalhas added co-op, letting four of you jump into the world-bending puzzler together. The update dropped on Friday, and it seems that even your pals aren’t safe from the game’s forced perspective. They’ll appear in the world as little chess pieces, and from the looks of things you can pick them up to use as puzzle solving items.
In this gif from developer Pillow Castle’sannouncement post, one player picks up their friend and plops them up high on a platform. It looks as though that friend gets bigger as they go too, which I feel is somehow going to make the game even more confusing than it was already.
If you don’t fancy playing with friends, however, you can play against them now too. Superliminal addeda battle royale-style modelast month, which pits 12 people against each other in a series of “frantic” obstacle courses. The devs suggest that that game mode will only be around for the holiday season, but they’ve added a bunch of new puzzle rooms and power-ups for it alongside the co-op update. So, watch this space, I suppose.
Perhaps the story will matter less when you have mates to mess around with. You can find Superliminal onGOGor theEpic Games Storefor 50% off in their holiday sales, oron Steamat its full price of £16/€17/$20 (it’s worth noting Steam’s winter sale kicks off on Wednesday though). It’s also on Nintendo Switch, PS4 and Xbone.
