How co-op works
Two to four local players coordinate an auto-running line of aliens. They jump independently and switch which character leads so its color matches upcoming obstacles, enemies, and pickups; mistakes consume the team’s shared lives, and everyone succeeds or restarts together.
About this game
Joggernauts is a cooperative puzzle platformer that sends one to four players sprinting through a constantly scrolling world. Instead of controlling individual characters, everyone manages a conga line of alien athletes who automatically run forward, forcing the team to coordinate jumps, switches, and color-matched attacks in real time.

The core challenge is timing. Players rotate positions in the line to match the color of incoming obstacles and enemies, destroying hazards only when the lead jogger matches that color. Misjudge a switch or jump too early, and the whole line collapses. The frantic need to communicate who jumps when and who cycles to the front turns simple running into high-pressure teamwork.
Local couch co-op and single-screen play are the focus here, with Steam Remote Play Together extending that same shared-screen chaos online. Sessions reward tight coordination and quick reflexes, making every level a short, intense puzzle sprint that thrives on clear callouts and fast reactions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I play this solo or do I need other players?
Joggernauts supports 1-4 players, so you can play solo or bring up to three friends. Solo play has you managing the whole conga line yourself, while co-op splits the control among players, making communication and coordination the main challenge.
Is there online multiplayer or just local co-op?
The game is built for local couch co-op with shared-screen play. You can extend this to online play using Steam Remote Play Together, which lets remote friends join your local session, but there's no native online matchmaking.
How does the color-switching mechanic work?
Your conga line of alien joggers automatically runs forward, and you need to rotate their positions so the lead jogger matches the color of incoming obstacles or enemies. Only a matching color can destroy hazards, so timing your switches and jumps together is essential to survive each level.
Does this game require good communication between players?
Absolutely. Joggernauts is heavily communication-focused. Since everyone shares control of a single conga line on one screen, you need to constantly call out jumps and color switches in real time. Missteps collapse the whole line, so clear callouts and quick reactions are critical.
