Description

Push Me Pull You is a videogame about friendship and wrestling. Joined at the waist, you and your partner share a single worm-like body and must wrestle the other sports-monster for control of the ball. It’s a bit like a big hug, or playing soccer with your small intestines. With every action affecting both you and your partner (and mandatory shouting) PMPY combines the best parts of co-op multiplayer with the worst parts of your last breakup.

• Local multiplayer: a competitive, same-screen sports game (in the vein of Nidhogg, Samurai Gunn and the Sportfriends collection) for 2–4 players
• It's gross: experience the grotesque and hilarious physicality of a two-headed tube of muscle and skin, as you collide and coil around your fleshy opponent
• Shifting, tactile gameplay: through frantic play, the players' bodies dynamically grow, shrink, stretch and twist, creating a constant back-and-forth where new tactics continually emerge
• A game about friendship: since you're sharing the same body, you'll need to carefully communicate (or just shout a lot) with your partner as much as possible in order to coordinate and win
• Customise your character: create a unique character before the game starts (then push its face into your opponent's long, fleshy torso)
• Accessible yet deep: the game's simple mechanics mean that it can be picked up by anyone, but it contains a competitive depth that grows over time as new formations are invented and strategies evolve
