Best co-op platformer games
Co-op platformers turn running and jumping into team exercises. Some demand perfectly synchronized puzzle-solving, like Wyv and Keep's trap-filled temple or DYO's split-screen brain teasers where players hop between screens to unlock the path forward. Others lean into physics chaos, where swinging arms in Heave Ho or wrestling with momentum becomes the main event. The Adventure Pals and Unruly Heroes bring combat and boss fights into the mix, letting friends button-mash their way through colorful worlds together. Whether you're communicating through every step or just trying not to fling your partner off a cliff, these games make platforming a group project.

How we picked these games
This collection focuses on platformers designed for cooperative play, where movement and timing are central to the experience. Games here usually involve jumping, climbing, and navigating levels together, whether through puzzle-solving that requires coordination, physics-based challenges that create controlled chaos, or action sequences that let players tackle enemies side by side. Purely competitive platformers or single-player games with tacked-on co-op modes don't fit. The emphasis is on games where the platforming itself becomes a shared activity, not just a backdrop for other mechanics.
Frequently Asked Questions
