Joining a Shared Run

Connect both controllers before beginning and confirm that both players have joined as distinct character colors. If a player is assigned unexpectedly, back out and rejoin before progressing.

Players enter the same corporate climb, fight office enemies, choose attacks, and advance through floors together. The run is cooperative for most of its length, but each player chooses attacks and can develop a different combat style.

  • Check both health bars when entering a floor.
  • Attack from opposite sides to limit enemy crowding.
  • Let the healthier fighter engage first if a teammate is low on health.
  • Leave room around teammates using large knockback attacks.

Combos and Attack Choices

Press X to cycle through the moves available to that player. Selected moves appear in each player's progress area, so coordinate choices instead of building identical attack chains.

Moves shown include roundhouse kick, forward kick, spin kick, bicycle kick, and a shoryuken-like attack. Available options can change during a run, so players may not have matching loadouts.

  • Fast kicks can keep enemies moving.
  • Wider or stronger attacks can punish groups.
  • Knockback moves create space when a player has low health.
  • Avoid risky edge-side fighting until enemies are weakened.

The footage also shows passive improvements such as increased kick damage and health gained from groin kicks, plus an expansion area with survival time, health recovery, bonuses, and workplace improvements.

Is It Worth It?

Verdict: Co-op Twist. Two-player play works best when teammates coordinate different combos and protect the lower-health fighter, while staying ready for the CEO ending to turn teamwork into competition.

CEO Fight

The climb can end with only one CEO remaining. Players may fight through the office together, then face each other for the position.

Keep health in mind before the final encounter: damage from the cooperative climb can leave one player at a major disadvantage. The winner becomes the boss and can choose a new employee.
