How co-op works
Local co-op for two players sharing one screen. Both explorers capture and mount monsters to traverse the maze, coordinating creature-swapping and movement abilities while dodging swarms of projectiles together.
About this game
Patch Quest is a roguelike action game where explorers venture into a patchwork labyrinth filled with hostile creatures. Armed with a Lasso, players capture and tame any monster they encounter, transforming threats into rideable mounts. Each creature grants a unique traversal ability-gliding, tunneling, web-slinging, or surfing-and switching between them strategically is the key to navigating the shifting terrain and surviving increasingly dense bullet patterns.

The moment-to-moment loop blends creature management with bullet-hell dodging. Players must react to waves of projectiles while choosing which monster to ride for the current challenge, whether that means leaping across gaps, burrowing under obstacles, or swinging between platforms. The cheerful art belies the precision required, and each run forces constant adaptation as the procedurally generated maze rearranges itself.
Permanent upgrades and unlocks persist between runs, gradually expanding options and opening new routes through the labyrinth. The structure rewards repeated attempts, letting teams refine tactics and experiment with creature combinations. Success depends on coordination, especially when chaining abilities or sharing control of the screen during chaotic encounters.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does co-op work in Patch Quest?
Patch Quest supports local co-op with shared/split-screen play for two players. Both explorers work together through the same procedurally generated labyrinth, lassoing and riding monsters as a team. You can play on a single screen or use Steam Remote Play Together to connect with a friend online.
Do both players need to coordinate which monsters to ride?
Yes, communication is key. Since each monster offers different traversal abilities-gliding, tunneling, web-slinging, or surfing-you'll need to coordinate which creatures to tame and ride based on the terrain and incoming bullet patterns. Chaining abilities between players and adapting together is essential for surviving tougher encounters.
Is progress saved between runs when playing co-op?
Yes, permanent upgrades and unlocks persist between runs even in co-op. As you and your partner complete attempts, you'll gradually expand your options and open new routes through the labyrinth, making each subsequent run more varied and strategic.
How difficult is Patch Quest for co-op players?
Despite its cute art style, Patch Quest is a deceptively difficult bullet-hell challenge. You'll face dense waves of projectiles while managing creature abilities and navigating the shifting maze. The game rewards coordination and precision, so expect to refine your tactics across multiple runs as you learn enemy patterns together.
