The Stretchers
Grab a stretcher, collect your patients and get them to the hospital as quickly as possible.
Available for Nintendo Switch
Take a seat inside a lovely spacecraft and get ready for a ride, that requires some serious teamwork.
In âLovers In A Dangerous Spacetimeâ you need to navigate a spacecraft through dangerous asteroid fields and hordes of enemies. Meanwhile everyone can freely move inside, which is necessary, because each person can only operate one station at the same time. Somebody needs to navigate, somebody needs to move the shield and somebody needs to operate at least one of four available weapons. Even with four people you canât do everything simultaneously, so youâre constantly switching between jobs.
On your way you need to rescue intergalatic teddy bears, level up your stations and find the exit to the next sector. At the end of each chapter youâll find a final boss. You canât save after completing a single level, you need to complete a whole chapter. This isnât an easy task, especially with 2 or 3 players. The game may look like a beautiful dream, but it can be quite challenging.
âLovers In A Dangerous Spacetimeâ is a very hectic coop adventure with a lovely theme. If you pick a good crew, youâre in for a great adventure!

This game may be available on other platforms. Please check out the official website for âLovers in a Dangerous Spacetimeâ, if your preferred platform isnât listed.
Most couch co-op games require one gamepad per player (DualShock 4, DualSense, Nintendo Switch Pro Controller etc.), but sometimes you can share gamepads (PS5, XBOX Series X/S), use a single Joy Con (Switch) or let at least one person utilize a keyboard (PC). Please note: We canât guarantee that your specific setup works with âLovers in a Dangerous Spacetimeâ.
Remote Play Together (Steam) and SharePlay (PSN) allow you to share local multiplayer games with friends over the internet. Only the host needs to own the game. Remote Play Together is free. SharePlay requires a paid PSN subscription and is limited to 60 minutes per session and a maximum of 2 players.
We donât use affiliate links, we donât do paid listings, we just love good couch co-op games. Please support your favorite indie developers andâmost importantlyâhave fun!

We love couch co-op games. Nothing beats the joy of sitting in the same room, playing some fun games and experiencing the reactions of your friends first handâespecially during a pandemic, when youâre more often at home with your partner, family members or roommates. Sure, online multiplayer modes can be fun, too, but couch co-op has always been the best type of multiplayer games for us.
If you are like us, you play local multiplayer games on a regular basis, either with your kids or your friends. Every platform has some couch co-op classics, like âMario Kart 8 Deluxeâ and âSuper Mario Partyâ on Nintendo Switch or âSackboy: A Big Adventureâ on PS5. While these couch co-op games can be played over and over again, you may want to try something new from time to time. So, where do you find interesting, new titles? Sometimes you get great recommendations from friends, but most of the time you need to do your own research.
Most game stores like Steam, PlayStation/Microsoft Store or Nintendo eShop offer categories for local multiplayer games. However, they either feature just a handful of new games or list thousands of entries. Websites for couch co-op games do exist, but they try to list them all, even the not-so-good ones. Gaming related blogs and magazines write about couch co-op games from time to time, but itâs not their main subject. You probably donât want to search on the internet for hours and hunt for hidden gems. You want to find great, new games without the hassle. Thatâs why weâve came up with the idea for Couch Co-Op Favorites.
We create lists with handpicked couch co-op gamesâfilterable by platform, player number and relevant features. On this website you can quickly find new games which have been tested by people like you. Save time on researching, spend more time with friends and family.
We are a group of friends from Northern Germany. We have a deep passion for couch co-op games and did a lot of research on the subject in our student days. We donât know all titles, but we certainly know a lot of excellent games for different platforms and audiences. We regularly play games, but we still identify as casual gamers. We believe that not every gaming related site needs to look like it has been made for stereotypical gamers. Thatâs why weâve decided to make this site look friendly and approachable.
Our mission is simple: We want to bring joy to people looking for good couch co-op games and we want to support indie developers, too.
All games listed here are handpicked by us. Weâre not paid by developers to feature their games. Developers may send us their games for free, but this doesnât influence our opinon about these games. If we list a game, we genuinely like it. Itâs that simple. No ads, no affiliate links, just good games.
If youâre working on a couch co-op game, feel free to send us a short email with a link to your press kit and a few codes. To be able to test a game properly, we use multiple platforms (PC and at least one console, if possible). Currently, we prefer to test on Steam (Windows/Ubuntu) and on Nintendo Switch (EU/Germany). Please understand that we cannot publish a review for every game. As our time is limited, we are unable to test any betas or games in âEarly Accessâ. Additionally, we priotize games which are available on multiple platforms (not Steam only).
If youâre not sure wether your game is âgood enoughâ or if you haven't been feeling very confident lately, please consider reaching out anyway. We are regular people, just like you, and we try to answer every email!
Regardless of whether youâre an (indie) game developer or a fan of couch co-op games, weâd be happy to hear from you. Feel free to send us an email or start a conversation on Twitter! đ đź
