How co-op works

Loop is online co-op for up to ten players. Its adaptive stages assemble changing character abilities and jointly chosen perks, rewarding teammates with Karma for helping, rescuing, and sacrificing themselves; the local eight-player Totem mode is competitive rather than cooperative.

About this game

KarmaZoo brings up to 10 random players together in a cooperative platformer where altruism is the whole point. You and your teammates use a rotating cast of 50 different characters, each with unique abilities, to navigate increasingly chaotic levels filled with environmental hazards and tight timing windows. Success depends entirely on helping each other rather than racing ahead.

The puzzle-platforming loop revolves around coordinating abilities to reach exits, rescue teammates, and chain karma bonuses. One player might create platforms while another freezes time or clears obstacles. Communication and timing become critical as the group size grows, turning simple jumps into frantic group efforts where one missed cue can doom the entire team.

KarmaZoo supports both online co-op for larger groups and local couch play, including split-screen and single-screen modes. Cross-platform multiplayer widens the player pool, making it easier to jump into sessions with strangers. The emphasis on cooperation over competition creates a joyful, high-energy vibe where every run becomes a test of how well you can read and support your fellow players under pressure.
