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.

Awesome co-op puzzle game. Thoroughly enjoy playing this with my fiance and friends. Some of the puzzles really make you use your brain and communicate with your partner. Very satisfying to complete each level, no matter how many times you die in the process. Eagerly looking forward to new content - I would gladly buy DLC for this game. One of the best couch puzzle games I have played.

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!

Death Squared is a fun co-op puzzle game where each player controls a cube. Great for party game night or just with a couple friends or family. I like the sci-fi aesthetic of the game as well as the voiceover.

My most favourite indie puzzle game (and I did not even finish it yet). Coop is super fun both Story & party mode. In party mode with controller + keyboard you control 4 cubes (each player controls 2), you can play with remote play as long as one of you owns a controllers. Lots of levels pretty challenging, and of course the cause of most deaths is that you forget which stick controls which cube and you either fall off the platform or burn yourself with laser :D

For anyone who loves local co-op with friends, this one is a blast. Doesn't even matter if your friends play games - they will get the hang of it. Easy recommend

Weak recommend. The puzzles are decent, not too hard, not too easy The base game can be completed solo. Extra levels that require 4 players cannot.
* No online coop, only local coop.
* The game never tells you what the controls are
* I don't like that many "kill you" elements are hidden until they kill you. Spiked floors for example, why couldn't they have unique texture to signify danger? Or moving blocks that kill you? Why aren't they and their paths marked somehow? This is just bad design and these deaths are not fair. The trial and error process of learning what hidden BS kills you is not fun.
* Can't rotate the camera around the level, so sometimes its unintuitive or impossible to see where a laser is, or where to go, or where the secrets are.
* The physics based movement adds nothing but frustration when falling off of edges
* I appreciate the presence of voice acting, but a lot of the jokes are just so supremely dumb and cringe inducing.

Great puzzle game. Simple controls, easy to learn, and new components are added gradually enough for even the most novice player to keep up. The four player version is just as fun as the two player main campaign. Worth the price, and a lot of fun to play online with friends from the comfort of one's home.
