How co-op works
Cooperative dungeon crawling across hilly terrain where players surf slopes to build momentum, then unleash physics-driven melee attacks against enemies. Local and online co-op both amplify the slapstick chaos as partners collide, coordinate strikes, and navigate unpredictable terrain together.
About this game
Awaysis is a physics-driven action RPG that trades tight controls for gleeful, momentum-based mayhem. Players race across undulating dungeons, building speed on slopes before crashing into enemies and obstacles with unpredictable results. Every swing and tumble depends on velocity and angle, turning each encounter into a chaotic dance of collisions and recoveries.

The core loop revolves around surfing terrain to gain momentum, timing attacks as speed peaks, and managing the slapstick consequences when physics takes over. Co-op partners can coordinate strikes or accidentally send each other flying, while solo adventurers wrestle with the same volatile systems. PvP modes also pit players against one another in momentum-fueled brawls, though the cooperative dungeon crawl remains the central attraction.
Sessionpacing shifts between exploration, enemy encounters, and the scramble to recover from botched attacks. The physics engine ensures no two fights unfold the same way, rewarding players who learn to read terrain and turn chaos into advantage. Progression and loot drops encourage repeated runs through dungeons that never quite behave as expected.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I play Awaysis co-op with a friend?
Yes, Awaysis supports both online co-op and local split-screen co-op. You can team up to surf terrain and battle through dungeons together, though the physics-based gameplay means you might accidentally send each other flying during the chaos.
How does the physics-based combat actually work?
Combat is entirely momentum-driven. You build up speed by surfing across hilly terrain, then unleash that momentum into attacks. The faster you're moving and the better your angle, the more damage you'll deal-but every collision has unpredictable consequences, so you'll need to manage the slapstick aftermath of tumbles and recoveries.
Is Awaysis only co-op or are there other modes?
The main attraction is the cooperative dungeon crawl, playable solo or with a partner. The game also includes PvP modes where you can brawl against other players using the same momentum-based physics, but the dungeon adventure is the central experience.
Do I need precise timing or can I just button-mash?
Awaysis trades tight controls for physics chaos, so button-mashing won't get you far. Success comes from reading the terrain, timing your speed boosts, and learning how to turn collisions to your advantage. The game rewards players who embrace the unpredictable physics rather than fight against them.
