Two-Headed Knight

One knight. Two players. Zero agreement.

Two friends share one knight. The host controls the LEGS, the friend controls the ARMS. Neither of you can win alone: the Legs can't attack, and the Arms can't walk.

Fight through three crypt rooms, pick an upgrade for your half between rooms, and take down the Crypt Warden, a three-phase boss with slams, charges, fire and a beam that sweeps the room. If the knight falls, the run starts over.

Who is who

LEGS (the host): you are the feet. Walk the knight into position, dash out of danger, and line the sword up for your partner.

• WASD / Arrow keys: move
• Space: dash

ARMS (the friend who joins): you are the sword. Aim with the mouse and swing when an enemy is in reach. You can't walk, so tell your partner where to go.

• Mouse: aim the sword
• Left click: swing

Talk to each other. Voice chat (Discord, Steam) is half the game.

How to play with a friend

You both need Steam running and the game added to Steam.

1. Both players: download and unzip the game.
2. Both players: in Steam, click Games > Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library, browse to TwoHeadedKnight.exe and add it. (This gives you the Steam overlay and invites. If you start the game by double-clicking, it reopens itself through Steam.)
3. Host (LEGS): start the game, click HOST GAME, then INVITE FRIEND and click INVITE next to your friend's name.
4. Friend (ARMS): accept the invite in Steam. The game joins the lobby automatically (start the game first if it isn't running).
5. Host: when both of you are in the lobby, click START RUN.

Esc opens the menu (volume, fullscreen, leave to lobby). The game keeps running for your partner while it's open.
