How co-op works

Two local players control Toodee and Topdee within the same campaign. They switch the active perspective between side-view platforming and top-down puzzles, using Topdee to reposition objects and Toodee to traverse the resulting geometry, then coordinate those rule changes through puzzles and bosses.

About this game

Toodee and Topdee blends side-scrolling platforming with top-down puzzle solving in a cooperative experience built around perspective switching. One player controls Toodee in a 2D platformer view, while the other takes Topdee through a top-down puzzle dimension. The twist: both perspectives share the same world, and switching between them changes the physics and layout for both players.

Success depends on constant communication and timing. You'll coordinate jumps, move blocks, and rearrange the level itself by flipping perspectives mid-action. Every puzzle demands that both players understand how their view affects the other, turning each challenge into a test of teamwork and spatial reasoning.

The game supports local couch co-op on a shared or split screen, along with Steam Remote Play Together for online sessions. Expect tight, communication-heavy puzzles that reward patience and creative problem solving with a partner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we play Toodee and Topdee online together?

Yes, through Steam Remote Play Together. The game is designed for local couch co-op, but Remote Play Together lets you stream it to a friend online so you can play cooperatively from different locations.

How does the perspective switching work in co-op?

One player controls Toodee in a 2D side-scrolling view while the other controls Topdee from a top-down perspective. Both views share the same world, so when you switch perspectives, it changes the physics and layout for both players simultaneously. You need to coordinate these switches carefully to solve puzzles together.

Is this game difficult for casual co-op players?

Yes, it's challenging. The game is described as having "hard-as-nails challenges" and "mind-melting puzzles" that require constant communication and spatial reasoning. It rewards patience and creative problem solving, so expect a steep learning curve if you're new to demanding puzzle platformers.

Can one person play this solo or does it require two players?

The game supports both single-player and co-op modes. In solo play, you'd switch between controlling both characters yourself, while co-op lets two players each take one character for a more collaborative experience.
