TwinCop

TwinCop is a top-down twin-stick shooter for two local players, who control different halves of the same character. You and a friend must coordinate your movement and attacks to survive, with each player using a controller.

Shared control

Both players control movement, so communication is essential. Moving in opposite directions leaves TwinCop standing still, while moving in the same direction makes the character move swiftly and heal. Moving together is the only way to heal, and it also charges Twinsanity, a shared super ability that slows time and helps you handle tough situations.

Story

You and your partner were the best cops in the greater Twin Cities metropolitan area until a pontoon boat accident nearly killed you. To save your lives, the police department combined half of each of your mangled bodies using the latest technology, creating one super-cop: TwinCop. You each control half of the same body and must stay in sync to survive. The story asks what really happened in the accident, who is funding the war on the streets and what PopTop Corporation, creators of the PopTop Drink, has to do with it.

Cops and minigames

You can try over 25 character combinations, choosing from eight elite members of the Twin Cities police force, each with a unique special ability. Matching abilities can increase your combat potential. The game also includes cooperative minigames based on everyday tasks made difficult by sharing one body: defusing bombs by cutting wires together, chasing criminals through busy intersections and fist-bumping yourselves after a job.
