Biped is a family-friendly game focusing on what the developer describes as "moment-to-moment collaboration between two players." In it, two robots are tasked with traveling to Earth and restoring beacons scattered throughout the wilds. This Earth isn't quite like the one we're familiar with, though. Biped imagines a planet uninhabited by humans, leaving the flora and fauna with the run of place. Take a deeper look at what you'll be doing in the gameplay trailer found below:

Don't let the cute aesthetic fool you, Biped is not for the faint of heart. Locke and I knew we were in for a treat as soon as we hit the first puzzle, which required us to cross a platform that changed color every time we put one of our feet down. Players had to alternate steps between them (and their own legs) or the platform would disappear. The game built on this mechanic as we progressed adding in moving platforms, obstacles, and elusive pickups in order to buy hats and glasses for our adorable robots.
You control the robot's two legs using two sticks or left and right mouse buttons. This allows you to perform various moves—from simple walking and sliding to more advanced actions, like operating machinery or cutting wood.
