Back 2 Back: A Couch Co-op Mobile Game? Two Frogs Games Makes a Bold Claim
Two Frogs Games has a bold proposition: couch co-op gaming on mobile phones. In a world dominated by online multiplayer, their game, Back 2 Back, aims to revive the local, shared-screen experience. But can it truly succeed?
The concept is simple enough. Back 2 Back is a two-player game where one player drives a vehicle through a challenging obstacle course, while the other player acts as a shooter, defending against enemies. The developers cite games like It Takes Two and Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes as inspiration.
The Challenge of Mobile Co-op
The immediate question is feasibility. Mobile phones, while portable, have small screens – a challenge for single-player games, let alone two players sharing one screen. Two Frogs Games' solution involves each player using their own phone to control their respective roles within a shared game session. It's not a perfect solution, but it appears functional.
Potential for Success?
Despite the technical hurdles, Back 2 Back holds promise. The enduring appeal of in-person multiplayer gaming, as evidenced by the success of games like Jackbox, suggests a market for this type of experience. Whether Back 2 Back can successfully translate that appeal to the mobile platform remains to be seen, but the ambition is certainly noteworthy.
