We'd love for you to consider checking out Rhyolite! It's a co-op for up to 4 players with task + resource + attention management that gets chaotic in a PlateUp! kind of way. Made by a husband-and-wife indie dev duo =)

Thanks!

First they beat the most difficult game mode in our demo. Then they asked for an even MORE difficult mode which we thought would be impossible, but we added it anyway. Then they beat that mode, too! 🤯

A late entry to #PitchYaGame because we're a husband-and-wife team parenting two young kids who are on summer break!

Rhyolite is a 4p co-op roguelite. Keep your train running while capturing enemy ghost trains! It's crazy teamwork-y fun.

Rhyolite is set in an alternate version of the American Wild West, so we are always looking back in time for inspiration. Here are some of the historical figures and photos we referenced when designing our character classes (brought to life by 3D modeler Daniel B).

In Rhyolite, you can pick one specialized car for your train each run. The Disruptor car emits a shockwave that eliminates the next enemy attack. Some players say it's OP, especially if you have an extra battery on board to overclock it. ⚡
