How co-op works
Up to four players share a local drop-in campaign, carrying boxes, stacking them into stairs and structures, and coordinating jumps through open-ended platforming puzzles. Challenge scaling follows the group size; competitive Boxball, Basketball, and Tic Pile Toe are separate minigames.

The core gameplay blends platforming with physics-based puzzles. Players jump, slide, and coordinate movements to transport boxes across gaps, up ramps, and through tricky terrain. Communication becomes essential when timing jumps or keeping wobbly stacks upright, and the physics system ensures plenty of laugh-out-loud failures alongside satisfying successes.
Designed for local couch co-op with split-screen and single-screen modes, Pile Up! thrives on same-room energy. Steam Remote Play Together extends the fun online. Sessions reward patience and coordination, making it ideal for families or groups who enjoy lighthearted teamwork without intense pressure.
