Back 2 Back wants to put couch co-op on mobile, with shooting and driving action

Two Frogs Games' Back 2 Back: Couch Co-op on Mobile? A Bold Claim.

Can you imagine playing couch co-op on your phone? Two Frogs Games thinks you can, and they've created Back 2 Back to prove it. This ambitious mobile game aims to recapture the magic of shared screen experiences, challenging the dominance of online multiplayer.

The premise is simple yet intriguing. Inspired by co-op hits like It Takes Two and Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, Back 2 Back tasks two players with distinct roles: one drives, the other shoots. Navigate treacherous landscapes – cliffs, lava, and more – while simultaneously fending off attackers.

Will it Work? A Mobile Co-op Conundrum

The immediate question is feasibility. Mobile phones, while portable, have small screens – a challenge for single-player games, let alone two-player. Two Frogs Games' solution involves each player using their own phone to control a shared game session. It’s not perfect, but it's functional.

The core concept, however, is promising. The enduring appeal of local multiplayer, as demonstrated by games like Jackbox, suggests a strong potential audience for Back 2 Back. The success of this unique approach remains to be seen, but the ambition alone is noteworthy.
