    TL;DR: Joggernauts is worth it in both single-player and multiplayer modes. Making a co-op game that works well as a single-player game is admirable and for that reason alone you should play it, especially if you like games like BIT.TRIP RUNNER. Anyway, here's the ♥♥♥♥ nobody's gonna read: Joggernauts is a weird ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ beast. It occupies the space between a social party game and highly competitive game. It's an answer to the question "What if someone added multiplayer to BIT.TRIP RUNNER or…

    One of my favorite platform games. Up to four players, I played being two, it's a continuous runner crazy game. It's very fun and the progression is adequate. It has many maps, a lot of characters and other alternatives of playing. The visual and the sound are captivating. I highly recommend it to play with friends and laugh, especially if you increase the speed of the game :P Uno de mis juegos de plataformas preferido.

    I haven't tried to play it with more people yet, but single player is fun if challenging. Single player feels a lot like a more frantic Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, which is a rare experience in gaming. The concepts are simple, and the level design ramps up nicely to accomodate a learning curve. The presentation is lovely. While there's a lot happening on screen at any given moment, it never distracts from the clearly defined bright colors needed to play the game. My only real complain ist…

    In a nutshell: Joggernauts is FUN! Both entertaining and challenging, it is difficult yet rewarding, and always a good time. It has a magnetic quality that I will struggle to define... it draws new players in and soon they are enraptured, caught up in the simple joys and victories to be found within this game. NB This game is best played with friends! And it is local co-op only. But it does feature a single-player mode that suffices quite well if you can't wrangle your friends into picking up…

    Hi! I’m a creative developer that loves games, the web, and cat selfies. I was co-founder and lead programmer at Space Mace. We made Joggernauts, the co-op alien conga line game where you have to switch to survive. Oh! And I helped create NESpectre, the massively multi-haunted Nintendo. #gamedev

    Game gets way too hard way too fast. Having a weaker player also takes the enjoyment out of this. Its marketed as a casual party game when in reality its for experienced runner players only. Good luck finding a party of players that meet the skill this game demands.

    This is a great game. Out of the box, I found the single player mode to be more difficult than multiplayer. Adjusting the modifiers on the map view helped to make solo game play more enjoyable. Multi-player mode is were this game really shines. I introduced it to few friends and the four of us ended up playing for over an hour huddled around my MacBook Air with a bunch of controllers plugged in. I'm looking forward to playing this again with more people. A few helpful tips, the level where you…

    3/10 its like Bit.Trip Runner, but harder honestly, its too stressful to be fun you control 2 people that can jump and swap places as you nonstop run to the right well the game gets more complex + local co-op + you can adjust speeds and give yourself more or less hearts to change how hard the game is. - 15$ would be a decent 1$, 2$ phone app based on game % i think the game only has 50 level

    For the first half hour, you'll be questioning whether you have the brain capacity to play Joggernauts. If you stick with it though, it all clicks in to place. A total blast, especially with four people - it's the rare game where playing the same 15 seconds of a level over and over doesn't get boring, it actually gets more fun. "We've almost got it! That was so close!" Definitely recommend it.

    I really wanted this to be good... but it just isn't. It's really hard right from the beginning and is really frustrating having to restart the level just because you missed one trophy. The placements of the trophies seem so weird and random that it's almost like it's forcing you to replay the levels multiple times.

    Joggernauts is an unusual console ported 2D hybrid endless runner, platformer and Dance Dance Revolution ripoff rhythm game. As usual, this is a case of doing something new for the sake of it without any consideration as to whether the end result will be worthwhile (it wasn't). Gameplay consists of running endlessly to the right while co-ordinating little platformer characters of various colours. Platforming characters must hit the right targets and collect the right gems at the right time,…

    Really fun, game although it was very frustrating solo, but from what I understand it was made to be co-op, so it's understandable. My real hours in this game are around the 10 hour mark for all achievements. It was frustrating at time, and I wanted to get it over with, but that's on me. I recommend this platformer to anyone who HAS friends they can play this game with. Alone, it is not that enganging imo, although I would still recommend it because it's a well made game.

    The game is great, a little bit of confusion on setup when trying to first connect with friends far away, but once you get it up and running it's a boat load of fun. Staying in sync with your friends and trying to come up with new strategies keeps this game from getting boring. It's the perfect game for a party. My main criticism is that for 15$ I would expect actual online co-op rather than using Steam remote play, as Steam remote play introduces lag, and even worse, input lag of up to about…

    This is a fun game to test your cooperative skills with teammates. Can get very challenging at times especially with 3-4 players. When everyone is making their switches and jumps the game is very satisfying. Note to developers: Not sure if the jumps and switches are timed to the music (sure feels like it), but if they are it would be very helpful to have a timing/bar indicator along the x-axis, to help assists the players. I know it would turn the game more into a rhythm game, but I think…

    A great multiplayer game to play with friends that also serves well as a single player game. I had lots of fun playing the different levels and trying to overcome the chalenges they present. The game teaches you different techniques throughout the levels, so you'll always be learning new ways to better yourself. I also loved the nice soundtrack it has, which isgood, because I hear alot of it when I keep restarting levels.

    Joggernauts is a colorful and energetic cooperative platformer developed by Space Mace and published by Graffiti Games that turns the simple act of running and jumping into an exercise in chaos, rhythm, and communication. At first glance, it appears like an accessible, family-friendly auto-runner, but beneath its bright exterior lies a deceptively demanding challenge. Released in 2018, the game was designed with local multiplayer in mind, focusing on teamwork and split-second coordination…

    Holy moly this game is chaotic. Every time we played this as 4 we laughed so hard at the constant screw ups we made. Don't be fooled by its look, this game is HARD, especially if you are playing as 4. You have to both have good reflexes and coordination. The game is extremely simple, you just have two buttons, but it'll melt your brain. Amazing game. If you have a couple of friend to play it with, try it, it won't disappoint.
