2 versus 2 player co-op

Last night I got to play a round ofPush Me Pull Youduring the Venus Patrol party here in San Francisco. It was, without a doubt, the weirdest and best time I’ve had with a videogame in a long time.

So here’s the basic premise. You and a partner each control one end of the “sports-monster,” a conjoined humanoid Catdog like person. You’re going up against two other players in control of the same thing, and to win you need to keep control of a ball on your side of the court the longest for multiple rounds. You’re able to shrink or increase the length of your body as needed, and you’ll be adjusting sizes a lot as you vie for control.

It’s such a ridiculous concept, and it’s a little bit disturbing too. It’s essentially a f*cked up version of theTronlight cycle battles, expect here you’re naked man monsters getting entangled as each team tries to wrap up their entire being around a ball. Videogames are just the greatest.

I wasn’t able to capture any video, but there are these animated gifs that can give you some insight to the gameplay over onPush Me Pull You’swebsite.
