How co-op works
Two local players cross a procedurally generated city in any of three modes. They search houses and shops, trade with survivors, and manage separate weapons, ammunition, grenades, and healing supplies while clearing streets together; Remote Play Together can carry the shared-screen session online.
About this game
Dead Pixels drops you into a city overrun by the undead after a toxic spill reanimates the dead. You blast your way through waves of zombies in a side-scrolling shooter that blends arcade action with light survival and RPG elements. The game supports both solo runs and local split-screen co-op, letting a second player join the fight.

You scavenge houses and stores for weapons, ammo, and supplies, trading with other survivors to upgrade your gear as you push toward the city limits. Managing resources while under constant pressure from shambling hordes creates a tense rhythm that rewards careful planning and quick reflexes.
Split-screen co-op and Steam Remote Play Together let two players team up locally or online. Working together to clear streets, share supplies, and cover each other during reload windows turns each escape attempt into a scrappy, session-friendly challenge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I play Dead Pixels co-op online with a friend?
Dead Pixels supports local split-screen co-op and Steam Remote Play Together, which lets you stream the local co-op session to a friend online. There's no native online multiplayer, but Remote Play Together works well for two-player sessions.
How does co-op work in Dead Pixels?
A second player can join locally via split-screen. Both players fight through zombie hordes together, scavenge for supplies, and share resources as you push toward the city limits. You'll need to coordinate reloads and cover each other during heavy waves.
Is Dead Pixels more action or survival-focused?
It's a side-scrolling shooter at heart with light survival and RPG elements layered on top. You'll spend most of your time blasting zombies, but you also need to manage ammo, scavenge supplies, and trade with survivors to keep your gear upgraded. It leans toward arcade action with resource pressure rather than hardcore survival.
