$14.99Biped Walking takes two of you
Biped gives you and a partner each a wobbly two-legged robot, with one stick or mouse button per leg. You walk, slide, push buttons, cut wood and work machinery across forests, valleys, waterfalls and icy mountains on your way to planetary beacons. Simple to learn, funny to fail at, and best played with co-op friends who laugh when plans fall over.

Walking with two left feet
Each robot leg gets its own control: left and right sticks, or left and right mouse buttons. You step, drag yourself forward, slide down slopes, and time small lifts to hit buttons or cross narrow platforms. Operating machinery and cutting wood use the same legwork, so even simple jobs take balance and timing. You plant one foot, swing the other past it, and hope your partner is doing the same on the far button. It looks cute and feels clumsy in the right way, which makes every clean crossing feel earned.
Two robots, one beacon path
The trip runs through forests, valleys, waterfalls and icy mountains, a string of short puzzle rooms leading to planetary beacons. You press paired switches at the same moment, hold a platform still while your partner crosses, and find coins and treasures tucked off the main path. Collected treasure buys goofy hats, and you can match outfits for maximum dazzle. Finished the eight levels and still upright as a duo? Solo play works too, if you want to practice your footwork alone.
What should you know before playing?
How do you control the robot?
With two inputs, one per leg. On a gamepad that means the two sticks; with mouse and keyboard it means the left and right buttons. You alternate them to walk, hold them together to slide, and use small steps for buttons, platforms and machinery. It takes a few minutes to get, then the challenge is doing it neatly under pressure.
Can you play it solo?
Yes. You can run the whole beacon journey alone, controlling one robot through the same forests, valleys, waterfalls and icy routes. It plays more like a balance and timing test that way. The paired switches and carry-and-cross moments are built for two, so bring a partner when you can.
How do you play with a friend?
Biped supports local split-screen style co-op and online co-op, so you can sit on the same couch or invite someone from afar. Each of you gets one robot, Aku or Sila, and you work the same rooms together. Check that your online search region matches your friend's before you start looking for a lobby.
How long is the adventure?
Short enough for a couple of evenings. The main path is eight levels made of compact puzzle rooms, each one quick to enter and finish when you coordinate. Coins, treasures and hats give you a reason to replay rooms, and player-made Workshop levels add more after that.
