Watch Out For These New Couch Co-Op Games from New Developers - PAX East

At PAX East, three indie developers unveiled fresh couch‑co‑op titles that promise fun for all players. Sol Mates invites up to four adventurers to dive into quick, action‑packed missions across procedurally generated space, where teamwork is essential to navigate hazards like pirates and black holes and avoid a giant alien crab. Royalty Free For All offers a hand‑drawn, party‑brawler experience that blends iconic public‑domain characters and settings into a light, accessible combat flow, making it easy for newcomers to join the fun. Ra Ra Boom delivers 4‑player co‑op action set on a future Earth overrun by rogue AI, letting players mix beat‑em‑up, shooter, and side‑scroller mechanics as they upgrade a ninja cheerleader’s skills to smash through waves of enemies. Together, these games showcase the vibrant creativity of new developers and the joy of shared gaming experiences.
