Colbots
Two little robots, one big adventure.
A 2.5D co-op platformer for two on one couch. Every gadget shines only in combination – gel plus pulse becomes a trampoline, magnet plus iron beam pulls the crate over. Jump, rescue each other and laugh together!

Features
Everything is better with two
A lovingly crafted co-op platformer for two players on one couch – or online via Remote Play Together. You control Spark and Groove, two little robots with big hearts and minds of their own.
Gadgets that only work together
Gel + Pulse: sticky goo becomes a trampoline. Magnet + Iron Beam: a crate becomes a bridge. Plus Blower + Sail and Time Cannon + Phase Shift – four gadget sets, eight tools, lots of combos.
Four handcrafted worlds
A blooming flower meadow with a lily pond and waterfall, a sparkling crystal cave, floating islands in the evening sky and a stormy canyon with a boss.
No one gets left behind
Fall down and you turn into a rescue form that fits the place – a lily pad, a swarm of fireflies, a little cloud – waving until your partner helps. No softlocks: hold jump and your bot warps to your partner.
Characters full of life
The bots babble in their own gibberish, fall asleep when you take a break, high-five each other and cheer. Each player customizes colors, build and hats.
Collecting is fun
Bolt chains for quick collectors, gems you can only reach together, three difficulty levels, checkpoints with autosave and medal ranks.
Screenshots
Both bots woke the giant bloom flower – now it throws one of them sky-high. 
Gel + Pulse = Trampoline: combine your gadgets. 
Step on the plate and launch your partner across the cloud sea. 
Ring the tuning crystal and the dark cave sings a glowing path. 
Too heavy for one: push the giant boulder together. 
Jump at the same time for a high five. 
Pick your partner up, carry and throw. 
Storm Canyon finale: glue the boss with gel, knock it with the pulse. 
The lighthouse you saw from the very start – you made it. 
The story begins in an old workshop: alone it's impossible – but together! 
Every world opens with a flyover and the duo's gadget combo. 
The festival finale: two bots, one team, one world repaired. 
The open workshop meadow: a different perspective, free movement and a co-op goal.
