Struggling

Struggling is a physics-based platformer about guiding a squishy, two-headed creature through a strange and dangerous world. You control its arms to get past obstacles and make your way through a series of locations. Move each arm independently and grab onto objects such as levers and dangling eyeballs to crawl, swing, climb, and slide. In co-op, two players work together, each controlling one arm. The journey mixes physics-based challenges with hazards and unusual set pieces, including ravenous rats and a dirt bike. Arms can be ripped off during the struggle, but they grow back.

Guide a floppy abomination through a hazardous world by controlling its arms separately, alone or with a co-op partner.
