How co-op works
Story Mode is a two-player online puzzle campaign built around color matching: partners recolor themselves and their gel shots, form groups of three, operate paired mechanisms, and combine artifacts to cross hazards. Party Mode provides separate stages and minigames for three or four players.

Players switch colors to match environmental puzzles, fire color-coded projectiles to clear obstacles, and combine artifact abilities to overcome platforming and combat challenges. The teamwork is communication-heavy: success hinges on calling out which colors you need, coordinating timing for switches, and supporting each other through layered puzzle sequences that reward quick thinking and clear callouts.
POPUCOM supports both online co-op and local couch co-op with split-screen and single-screen play options, making it flexible for remote squads or living room sessions. The result is a cooperative experience that feels urgent and social, where every puzzle becomes a conversation and every victory belongs to the whole team.
