How co-op works
Two local players guide the wheeled chariot through caves on one screen. Both use ropes and body weight to push, pull, reel, ride, and swing the vehicle across terrain, coordinating each physics-based maneuver to reach high ground and cross chasms.
About this game
Chariot is a physics-driven platformer built around a singular challenge: transporting the King's coffin-laden chariot through sprawling underground caverns. Two players can tackle this task together, combining their efforts to navigate treacherous gaps, steep inclines, and puzzle-filled chambers. The co-op mode transforms the journey into a test of coordination and patience, as one mistake can send the entire cart tumbling.

Players push, pull, ride, and swing the chariot using ropes and momentum, turning each section into a physics puzzle that demands constant communication. Managing the cart's weight and inertia becomes the central mechanic, whether you're hauling it uphill, lowering it carefully down a slope, or timing a pendulum swing across a chasm. The satisfaction comes from nailing a tricky maneuver as a duo, turning chaos into smooth progress.
Chariot supports local co-op on a single screen, making it a natural fit for couch sessions. The shared-screen setup keeps both players visible and accountable, amplifying the comedic mishaps and the rewarding moments when a plan finally comes together.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does co-op work in Chariot?
Chariot supports local co-op on a single screen where two players work together to guide the King's chariot through underground caves. You'll need to coordinate closely-one player might push while the other pulls, or you'll both swing the cart across gaps using ropes. The shared screen keeps both players visible, which means every mistake and success is a team effort.
Can I play Chariot online with a friend?
The game primarily offers local co-op on a single screen. However, the Steam version supports Remote Play Together, which allows you to play locally with someone over the internet using Steam's streaming feature.
What makes the physics mechanics challenging in co-op?
You're constantly managing the chariot's weight, momentum, and inertia together. Hauling it uphill, lowering it down slopes without losing control, or timing pendulum swings across chasms all require precise coordination between both players. One poorly timed push or pull can send the whole cart tumbling, so communication is essential.
