- Back 2 Back from Two Frogs Games has an ambitious selling point
- Fancy playing couch co-op on your phone?
- How does Back 2 Back pull it off, and can it be successful?
As a seasoned gamer who’s seen the evolution of gaming from the era of split-screen battles to the age of online multiplayer, I must say that Two Frogs Games’ Back 2 Back has piqued my interest like none other in recent times. The idea of couch co-op on mobile devices seems like a throwback to the good old days, but with a modern twist that makes it appealing to today’s gamers.
In modern times, it appears that local co-op gaming has become something akin to an antique artifact from the past. With the ability to play games online from virtually anywhere, the era of huddling around a split screen for a shoot ’em up or engaging in a fighting game seems to be far gone. However, Two Frogs Games seems to hold onto a different perspective.
They contacted us with exciting updates about a new mobile game called Back 2 Back, which they’ve labeled as a couch co-op, designed for two players. This game is marketed as an ideal choice for fans of cooperative games such as It Takes Two or Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes. In this game, both players assume distinct roles that require them to switch between each other.
In this game, one player navigates the vehicle while another focuses on aiming and shooting, as you maneuver a chosen vehicle through an intricate maze of cliffs, lava, and other hazards. Simultaneously, your cooperative partner must defend against attacking enemies that threaten to disrupt your journey.
Simple, but effective(?)
Initially, when I encountered Back 2 Back, my initial reaction might have been similar to yours – it seems promising, but is it truly functional? Given that a mobile phone’s main advantage, its portability, can also be a disadvantage due to the smaller screen size, which poses challenges even for a single player, let alone two.
Indeed, it’s fortunate that Two Frogs Games offers a solution, although it might be a bit perplexing regarding the functionality of Back 2 Back. As far as I can gather, each player controls their own phone to manage a joint gaming session. It’s not the most refined approach, but it gets the job done.
I have a positive outlook for Back 2 Back, and from my experience with games like Jackbox, I’ve learned that the joy of playing games together in person remains everlasting.
