2Troll Cat is a two-player cooperative puzzle platformer set in a stark black and white world inhabited by a pair of troll cats. One player takes the black cat, the other takes the white cat, and both have to reach the portal at the end of each level for the stage to count as complete.
Between you and that portal are paws scattered around the level. Collecting them is the point, and the layouts are built so that neither cat can reach everything alone. Cooperation here is structural rather than optional.
How to Play 2Troll Cat
Each level asks you to gather the paws and guide both cats to the portal. The two cats move independently and are controlled by different sets of keys on the same keyboard, so this is a game for two people sitting next to each other, or for one person with good coordination.
Finish a level and the next one opens. The pattern stays the same throughout, but level design steadily demands more precise timing and more deliberate splitting up, with one cat holding a position while the other collects.
Controls
- Black cat: Arrow keys to move and jump.
- White cat: WASD keys to move and jump.
- Mobile: the game is playable on touchscreens as well as desktop.
- Goal: collect the paws and get both cats to the portal.
Tips and Tricks
- Agree who goes first before you move. Two cats moving at once in a tight level is how you both end up stuck.
- Sweep the level for paws before heading to the portal. Arriving at the exit early does not help if collectibles are still out there.
- Use one cat as a platform or a marker where the level allows it. Several layouts expect it.
- If you are playing solo, move one cat to safety first, then focus entirely on the other. Trying to drive both hands at once rarely works outside the easy stages.
- Talk. This is a game that gets noticeably easier when the two players are actually saying what they are about to do.
Who This Game Is For
This is one to open when there are two of you and one keyboard. The black and white art keeps the levels readable, and the difficulty is pitched so that a pair of casual players can finish stages without much frustration.
As a solo game it is workable but awkward, since you are driving two characters on opposite sides of the keyboard. It is built for company.
