Co-op ???

[RoyalIce]

So i came across the game on this site (https://playco-opgame.com/mana-spark/), that says it supports co-op and at the same time it dosent. But i have not been able to find anything about it here on steam, so i assume it does not?

Can anyone who have the game maybe answer if it has co-op or not?

Yes, it has coop.
You just have to play the tutorial and you'll see that option on the encampment.
Player 1 chooses any character you have unlocked, Player 2 plays with the dog character.

Cool ty :)
Is this local only, or can we play online co-op?

It's local only but Steam's Remote Play Together is working well.

Hi, I'm using keyboard. My friend is unable to control the dog when we try co-op through remote play. We can't find keyboard settings for the dog-how do we control it? Thanks.

A little late to help you, but I'll leave it here to help others: one player needs to be on keyboard/mouse, other on gamepad to make the co-op work.

In case you lack a controller, you'd need to have some "virtual joystick", emulated gamepad to maybe make it available.

If you got two controllers, well, one player will need to leave it, and play on mouse/kb, from what I've tested.

I suggest in case you're playing a ranged character, to play on mouse/kb, and if you're playing the melee character, to play on gamepad instead.


Now for the co-op aspect, it's very asymmetrical, with the second player controlling an immortal dog/wolf good boy, which can roam around without triggering traps, attack the enemies for somewhat small damage, and do something which I don't know exactly what that traps them for a little while. If it wanders too far, it gets teleported to player 1.

No the "ideal" co-op setup, but works well, specially when the co-player is bad at roguelites, and having a full-fledged character with HP would actually make playing a roguelite together uplayable, so there's a silver lining.


I bought the game yesterday and gave the co-op a try using Parsec to play it online.
