Teamwork Puzzle Game: Difference between revisions

The actual genre/type of gameplay of a teamwork puzzle game may be [[Platform Game]], [[Point and Click Game]], [[Interactive Fiction]], or any other that supports storytelling and puzzle solving. (So probably not actual [[Puzzle Game]], which is usually a lot more abstract.)

 

 

* The [[Lego Adaptation Game|Lego Adaptation Games]]

* ''[[The Lost Vikings]]''

* ''[[Maniac Mansion]]'' and ''[[Day of the Tentacle]]''

* In the ''Frenetic Five'' game series, the player controls five superheroes with a variety of abilities.

* ''Half-Life: Decay'' is a PS2-only ''[[Half-Life]]'' [[Expansion Pack]] in which the player controls two characters (or two players each control one character) who must work together to proceed.

* In ''Head Over Heels'', the player controls two characters, each with three abilities the other lacks, and in addition some puzzles can only be solved with [[Epunymous Title|Head standing on top of Heels]].

* In ''The Humans'', the player controls a tribe of cave-people. In the original game the cave-people are largely interchangeable (with the exception of a [[Witch Doctor]] who appears in some levels), and the puzzles are of the things-a-person-can't-do-alone type; the sequels added other individuals with specific abilities.

* In ''[[The Legend of Spyro]]: Dawn of the Dragon,'' Cynder and Spyro have different "elements". Each element can interact with different obstacles, and the player has to figure out which character's elements are needed to get past a certain obstacle.

* In ''[http://www.questengine.com/heroes.php Once, Twice, Thrice!]'', the player controls three wizards with different sets of [[Elemental Powers]].

* [http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/474433 Guy & Buddy]: A guy sets out to avenge his murdered buddy, with his buddy's ghost tagging along. Each can go places and do things the other can't.

* ''Marvelous: Another Treasure Island'', a [[No Export for You|Super Famicom title]] developed by Nintendo late in the console's lifespan. You control a trio of summer campers who do develop individual abilities based on the inventory items the plot hands them, but there are also obstacles that just require the three kids to act together to get past.

* The licenced ''[[Transformers Animated]]'' game on the Nintendo DS.

* [http://gambit.mit.edu/loadgame/summer2009/dearth/dearth_800x600.php Dearth] requires the two players to work together to smash the water monsters. There are two versions: one for two human players, and one for a single human player with the help of an AI.

** ''[[Resident Evil Outbreak]]'' has eight characters who are all radically different (though only [[Arbitrary Headcount Limit|four could be used in any given level]]).

** ''[[Resident Evil 5]]'' has only two characters that are almost interchangeable.

* [[Crash Bandicoot|Crash Twinsanity]], which due to the whole [[Enemy Mine]] between Crash and Dr. Cortex often means that making [[Butt Monkey|Cortex]] suffer is key to progress.

* ''[[Enough Plumbers]]'' has you control a group of plumber clones.

* In ''[[Crea Vures]]'' the player controls five characters, each with its own unique ability.

** The console version of ''Nicktoons Unite'' is best described as a lighter ''[[X-Men Legends]]'' with a heavier focus on puzzles requiring usage of one or more of the four characters' different skillsets than on combat.

** The [[Nintendo DS]] version of ''Nicktoons Unite'' and the [[Game Boy Advance]] version of ''Battle For Volcano Island'' are akin to the above-mentionned ''Fury of the Furries'' and ''Looney Tunes Collector''. The former, however, is distinct by being set on a 3D plane.

** The DS version of ''Globs of Doom'' has the player controlling a different [[Enemy Mine|protagonist-antagonist pair]] per world (for five world), the 10 characters each having unique abilities. (For the record, the ''only'' moment where the player can choose which pairing to control is for the final boss.)

* In the online versions of ''Uru'', the Bevins (neighbourhoods where players can meet) include one of two randomly selected garden levels, Eder Tsogahl and Eder Delin, which have no purpose other than including a similar puzzle that absolutely needs at least four to five people to be completed easily. It involves pushing a series of buttons in a certain order (different each time), said buttons being scattered around the environment. The simplest way to complete these is having a button "caller" and have someone waiting close to each button, in order to activate them in a timely manner.
