How co-op works
Up to four local players crew one ship through battles, with Remote Play extending the same-screen mode online. They load and fire torpedoes, extinguish fires, repair systems and hull breaches, recycle explosives, and repel boarders, continually swapping jobs as simultaneous failures overwhelm the vessel.
About this game
Catastronauts throws you and your crew into the middle of a spaceship under constant attack. You'll juggle repairs, fires, torpedo loading, and deadly environmental hazards while enemy invaders chip away at your hull. It's pure cooperative chaos that demands quick thinking and constant coordination.

Every run is a balancing act. One player might be patching hull breaches while another rushes to load the torpedo bay, and someone else frantically extinguishes fires before systems fail. The mayhem escalates fast, and communication breaks down just as quickly. The fun comes from yelling instructions, laughing at near-disasters, and barely surviving each wave.
Catastronauts is built for local couch co-op and supports split-screen as well as single-screen play on the same machine. Steam Remote Play Together extends the chaos to friends online. Sessions are frantic, voice-heavy, and perfect for groups who thrive under pressure.

Can I play Catastronauts online with friends?
Catastronauts is primarily a local co-op game designed for couch play, but you can use Steam Remote Play Together to play online with friends. This streams the game from your PC to theirs, so they don't need to own it.
What makes Catastronauts different from other co-op chaos games?
It's all about spaceship management under pressure. You're not just cooking or moving furniture-you're patching hull breaches, extinguishing fires, loading torpedoes, and dodging solar flares while enemies attack. The communication-heavy teamwork and escalating disasters create frantic sessions where coordination constantly breaks down in the best way.
