This inspiration for this game is a mix between limb-controlling games such as Octodad, QWOP and Mount Your Friends, and the co-operative physical game involving 'Three-legged races'. In this game, players will pair up into teams of two; this will dictate who you're partnered up with.

The purpose of Tripod is to give a competitive environment a comical tone and possibly cause upset between duos – imagine the frustration of QWOP with the incoordination of two people. For this reason, a time limit will be implemented in the off chance that it's too difficult and ensures that laps don't last too long – in addition to this, even finishing first would seem like quite an accomplishment.

How it will work:

  • Players will have to work simultaneously, otherwise the 'runners' will trip, causing the players to fall behind in placing.
  • Visual cues will pop up on screen for the sake of keeping some rhythm between partners.

Features:

  • Make or break friendships
  • Potential for deliberate sabotage
  • Physics
  • Comical gameplay
  • Co-operation, or lack thereof

Intended for PC, Xbox One or Play Station 4.
