Grab a friend or tackle the puzzles solo in Duo Vikings, a cooperative 2D platformer that demands teamwork and careful timing. You control a pair of Norse warriors exploring a castle filled with traps, switches, and locked doors. Every level is a self-contained puzzle where neither character can reach the exit alone.
The core of the game lies in how the two characters complement each . The larger Viking is strong enough to bash through brittle walls and carry heavy objects, while his smaller companion moves faster, jumps higher, and fits into narrow passages. Progressing through the castle requires you to constantly switch between them, using their unique traits to clear paths, hold down pressure plates, and operate complex machinery.
Controls
- Large Viking: WASD to move and jump, S to bash/action.
- Small Viking: Arrow Keys to move and jump, Down Arrow to action.
Tips
- Scout ahead with the smaller Viking: Use his superior mobility to check for traps or hidden switches before committing the heavier Viking to a difficult jump.
- Use the big Viking as a stepping stone: If a ledge is slightly out of reach for the small Viking, you can jump onto his partner's helmet for a height boost.
- Sync your movements: Some moving platforms and traps require both characters to move or jump at the exact same moment to avoid being crushed.
