Zwamman

Zwamman is a relaxing stress-free puzzle game easy enough to play together with a five-year-old. Player 1 can use the spotlight to help Player 2 move Zwamman through the mysterious swamp. Together you can find the hidden crystals and light a path back to Zwamman's home.

At 9 pixels tall, Zwamman is the world's greatest hero who lives under mushrooms in a dark damp forest. As usual he's lost with many "scary" monsters lurking about. There are no actual scares in the game though. The monsters cause no harm and can be shooed away with the spotlight. So while the atmosphere may be spooky, Zwamman brings light in the darkness and the monsters might just turn out to be not so spooky after all.

Zwamman was originally developed for terminally ill children in hospitals for the Cliniclowns organization. So it's very well suited to be played together with a young child, or by two children playing together.

The game is played with mouse and keyboard and can of course be played by a single player alone, but it also plays well in local co-op with 1 player controlling Zwamman using the arrow keys and player 2 controlling the spotlight using the mouse.

As a relaxing puzzle game there is no penalty and no pressure.

The game also has endless puzzles, and at any time you can choose to swap to a more or less difficult level. The difficulty ranges very broadly from simple for young children to reasonably difficult for adults.

TL;DR: Zwamman is a top-down cross between hidden object and connect the dots with obstacles. Relaxing puzzles with variable difficulty for all ages. Well suited for children and local co-op play.
