How co-op works

Two players control Nessa and Demelza through the complete story locally or online. They explore and fight together, combining character-specific tools such as frisbees and water balloons to affect enemies and the environment, solve obstacles, collect treasure, and upgrade their bikes.

About this game

Knights and Bikes is a story-driven adventure that follows two friends on a treasure hunt across a British island in the 1980s. Players explore together, solve puzzles, and battle enemies using frisbees, water balloons, and their trusty bikes. It plays as true co-op, with both players working side by side through every chapter of the narrative.

The game mixes light combat with environmental puzzles and plenty of goose-petting charm. Each character brings unique abilities, so teamwork is central to opening new paths and tackling challenges. Communication keeps the rhythm smooth, especially when coordinating during boss encounters or tricky platforming sections.

Knights and Bikes supports both online co-op and local couch play on the same screen, making it flexible for remote friends or living room sessions. The pacing is relaxed, the art is hand-painted, and the whole adventure is designed to be experienced together from start to finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I play this solo or do I need a second player?

You can play Knights and Bikes solo or with a friend in two-player co-op. When playing alone, you'll control one character while the AI handles the other. The game is designed as a co-op experience either way, but having a human partner lets you coordinate abilities and puzzle-solving together.

Does it support both online and local co-op?

Yes, it supports both. You can play online co-op with a remote friend or local couch co-op on the same screen. It also works with Steam Remote Play Together if you want to stream your screen to someone who doesn't own the game.

How important is communication between players?

Communication helps keep things smooth, especially during boss fights and trickier platforming sections. Each character has unique abilities, so coordinating when to use them makes puzzles and combat easier. That said, the pacing is relaxed and the game isn't overly demanding-it's more about working together than precision timing.

Is this split-screen or shared-screen co-op?

It's shared-screen co-op, meaning both players stay on the same screen together rather than splitting the view. You'll explore and progress side by side throughout the entire adventure.
