Death Squared
Get together with a loved one, a group of friends or even the whole family and guide teams of two or four robots through increasingly-complex levels to their color-coded goals. But beware! The path through each level is littered with cunning death traps that quickly send the automatons to the big scrapyard in the sky. One false step can trigger a hidden spike, lethal laser beam or other dangers which will send the entire squad back to square one. To progress, players must work together to learn each stage through trial and error, putting newly-gained knowledge into action to survive and succeed. In addition to the two-player story mode, Death Squared includes insane 'party chaos' challenges specifically designed for groups of four. A single-player can also enjoy the traditionally two-player story mode, and two-players can tackle 'party chaos', by controlling two robots with one controller.

Yes, but barely.
Reasons you may not want to buy this game: 4 achievements are glitched with the developer saying they've moved on and won't fix. Glyphs show incorrectly randomly sometimes (ie. Playstation button icons while using an Xbox controller). Some of the "physics" and hit boxes of the cubes could use some work, they should have sanded down the rough edges, specifically because it's a puzzle game where precise movements matter.
If you can live with all that, it's a fun little puzzle game. The 'story' / narration is a complete rip on Portal and isn't nearly as funny. But the puzzles are challenging enough, though there's 80 '2-player' puzzles and only 40 '4-player' puzzles. For context, I played the whole thing solo with one Xbox controller and my keyboard. Yes, it's possible, and quite fun. The game encourages co-op though but there's no online capabilities so you'll have to find real friends.
The 2-player puzzles got relatively boring quickly; I'd say by level 30 I was about done. But switching to the 4-player puzzles revitalized the game for me! They were way more interesting and more fun, not really more challenging but just better. Made me enjoy the game enough to go back to the 2-player levels and finish them. That wasn't worth it but oh well.
For a decent sale price I'd say go for it if you like puzzle games and mediocre copied comedic material.

This is a great puzzle game and definitely worth its price with 80 main story levels, 40 4-player coop levels, and 45 levels deemed too hard for the original game, but I actually felt like the story levels could be cut down a bit to get rid of some fillerish levels. Might've just been me getting tired of the game at that point, but this is still an amazing game especially with a significant other, friend group, or etc to play with as coop partners. Mechanics work well and I like the vibe of being 2 robot dummies in a testing track (SOUNDS ALOT LIKE ANOTHER GAME ;) lmao) Give it a shot!

Fun puzzle game. The dialogue when you don't input fast enough is annoying, though.

I've been playing this game mostly with my wife as we wanted to try out a couch co-op feel to it. It's actually a decent puzzle platformer most of the time and we had a lot of fun playing it so far and I think we will continue until we finish it in its entirety.
Simple design but relatively fun experience, can't really say anything bad about it. There's some story included but it's mostly skippable so you can focus more on puzzle solving.
For what it is, a solid co-op experience and I give it 10/10. It's clearly made on a tight budget but you can definitely see that it's a work of love.

Pretty dope little puzzle game. Unfortunately, doesn't get as insanely difficult as other puzzle games but great nonetheless. One complaint I have is that I wish I could play party mode by myself but the game requires 2 devices be attached and all my dualshock controllers broke because they're cheaply made trash.

I am a little bit biased negatively towards this game because I played it solo. To be clear, this game was NOT made with solo in mind: even with only 1 player, you have to control 2 caracters at the same time, one with your controller, the other with the keyboard. There are just movements to manage so it's nothing crazy difficult, but it's a bit awkward and can become frustrating. Yet I played it for 1 hour and had fun - excepted that I got stuck a couple of times because I'm just too dumb.

it's one of my all time favorite games and I'd like to just tell you all mac users - this game is running on my M1 macbook with latests MacOS Sequia, even though the steam page is convinced it's not gonna work. It works beautifully!
All levels can be played with a friend or 3, or by youself, and some of them are really hard - excellent brain practice! I love seeing how smart my different friends are by testing them how they play this game with me!
