Co OPERATION: MultiTurn - An Ideal Game for Remote Play Together?

Co OPERATION: MultiTurn

You are a volunteer... in a hospital? In single-player or with friends, solve the puzzle of how to heal patients before they run out of health. Plan your turns and tactics 🤜🏾🤛🏻. Try not to give patients the wrong medicine or… throw them out the window. Make levels and mods too! 1-8 players.

Co OPERATION: MultiTurn is part of the 2024 Remote Play Together Fest. After [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2097840/Co_OPERATION_MultiTurn/]installing the demo[/url], you can invite up to 3 friends to help you heal the patients in each ward of Lonchester Hospital. The core gameplay and control system is ideally suited for Remote Play Together or any other streaming software. That’s because Co OPERATION: MultiTurn is a simultaneous-turn-based game and if one or more players have e.g. a 0.5 second lag on their stream, the gameplay is not really affected and it’s still a fun experience. Here’s how that works in-game. All players see a game map. You might see some patients or tiles where you know patients will spawn, hospital beds, different medicines types and a map layout with a particular challenge.

While thinking and talking, all of you will schedule four actions. When everybody has clicked “ready”, all the characters will move and execute their actions at the same time on the shared game screen. You’re all on the same team and you all plan actions at the same time. So even if one of you has a small amount of lag in seeing the stream of the shared screen, it doesn’t really matter [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42738505/ec639e2de5dc92d9383b13375e78aaf2a2c69778.jpg[/img] We’ve created a controller system similar to the Jackbox series of games. Each game session has a join-code. Go to our URL on your computer, phone, tablet or anything else with a web browser and type in the join-code. You’ll then be connected to the host game session. This makes it super easy to invite your friends to play with you. They watch the shared game screen but control their character via their connected device. In our testing, the combination of the core gameplay and the control scheme make Co OPERATION: MultiTurn a lot of fun to play over a stream, whether that’s on Steam Remote Play, Discord, Twitch or whatever. Having said that, it doesn't really matter what we think… It’s more important what you think and whether you and your friends have fun playing it together. After you’ve had a go, please do let us know what you think. At the time of writing, the demo is as at v0.3.9. Feedback from our early players informs what improvements and features we add to the game, so let us know what you think..! Cheers, Shaz (Game designer and co-founder at Mind Feast Games)
