How co-op works
Two-player local or online co-op, with each player controlling one head of the same elastic dog. Because both heads share a stretchy body, partners must coordinate movement, biting, pulling, and simultaneous interactions to solve physics-based puzzles.
About this game
PHOGS! puts you in charge of a stretchy, two-headed dog navigating puzzle-filled worlds themed around Food, Sleep, and Play. This is true co-op, whether you team up with a friend or tackle it solo by switching between both heads. Every challenge demands coordination as you pull, push, and chomp your way past obstacles that one head simply can't solve alone.

The core loop revolves around using your elastic belly to stretch across gaps, grab objects with each mouth, and activate switches in tandem. Success hinges on timing, communication, and creative problem-solving as you bounce, bark, and maneuver through platforming sequences that reward playful experimentation.
Both local couch co-op and online co-op are supported, with single-screen and split-screen options depending on your setup. Sessions lean heavily on back-and-forth chatter and shared laughter, making it a natural fit for players who enjoy lighthearted teamwork and don't mind a few missteps along the way.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I play PHOGS! solo, or do I need a second player?
You can play solo by switching control between both dog heads, but the game is designed around two-player co-op. Playing with a friend (locally or online) makes the puzzles flow more naturally since each person controls one head simultaneously.
Does PHOGS! support both local and online co-op?
Yes, PHOGS! supports both local couch co-op and online co-op. You can play on the same screen locally or connect with a friend online through Steam.
How much communication does PHOGS! require between players?
PHOGS! is very communication-heavy. Most puzzles require both players to coordinate timing, stretching, and object manipulation together. Expect plenty of back-and-forth discussion and shared problem-solving throughout your playthrough.
Is PHOGS! a challenging puzzle game or more casual and relaxed?
PHOGS! leans toward lighthearted, playful puzzle-solving rather than punishing difficulty. The puzzles require coordination and creative thinking, but the whimsical tone and forgiving design make it accessible for casual co-op sessions with friends or family.
