How co-op works
Up to four local or online players fight through the campaign with directional weapon control on the right stick or an alternative button scheme. The group mixes freeform combos, changes characters during combat, and turns captured enemy abilities against crowds and bosses.
About this game
Shing! is a side-scrolling beat-em-up built around slick, combo-driven ninja combat. Players choose from a roster of warriors, each with distinct movesets, and fight through waves of demons and corrupted enemies. It is a true co-op game designed for coordinated teamwork rather than versus competition.

Combat revolves around directional attacks, linked combos, and precise timing to juggle enemies and dodge incoming strikes. The right-stick controls your blade's angle, letting you chain moves and deflect projectiles in real time. Co-op sessions reward smart spacing and combo synergy, especially when teammates set up launchers or group enemies together.
Shing! supports both online co-op and local couch co-op, including split-screen and single-screen play depending on the level. With full controller support and Steam Remote Play Together, it offers flexible ways to team up. Expect high-energy sessions that demand communication and fast reactions as you synchronize combos and manage chaotic enemy swarms.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many players can team up in Shing?
Shing! supports up to four players in co-op, both online and locally. You can play together on the couch with split-screen or single-screen modes depending on the level, or team up online.
Does Shing! require good teamwork and communication?
Yes. The combo-heavy combat rewards coordinated play-teammates can set up launchers, group enemies together, and synchronize attacks for maximum effect. Smart spacing and communication help a lot when managing chaotic enemy swarms.
Can I play Shing! with a keyboard and mouse?
While Shing! does support keyboard and mouse, the game is labeled 'Gamepad Recommended.' The combat uses right-stick directional attacks for blade control, so a controller gives you the best experience.

Shing! uses both depending on the level. Some sections use single-screen play where everyone shares the view, while others use split-screen to give each player their own perspective.
