All Hands on Deck (v1.0.8)

A missing pile of daycare plushies turns a childlike afternoon into a bright, inventive cooperative mystery. All Hands on Deck casts two players as Lefty and Righty, the living hands of two children who slip through three distinct fantasy spaces in search of the stolen toys. Its tone stays playful rather than perilous, with colorful environments, cartoonish physical comedy, and puzzles built around teamwork instead of twitch reflexes. The result feels like a compact co-op platform adventure designed to make partners communicate, experiment, and occasionally laugh at a mistimed high-five.

Every obstacle asks both hands to contribute. Players jump across gaps, manipulate objects, smack breakable barriers, cut through obstacles, and swap between Rock, Paper, and Scissors forms to gain different interactions: Rock supplies force, Paper handles grabbing and friendly high-fives, while Scissors cuts a route ahead. Tools expand those possibilities, including a stretchable arm for distant switches, a slingshot-like elastic band, and paint-based traversal that rewards combining colors and abilities. Finding every plushie, secret, and optional challenge also opens cosmetic customization, giving completion-minded pairs reasons to revisit each realm.

The lack of a split screen is a notable choice: both players share one view, making positioning and timing part of the puzzle-solving language rather than a distraction. Local co-op, online play, and Remote Play Together support make it flexible for couch partners and long-distance friends, although online players each need their own copy. Its hand-based Rock-Paper-Scissors gimmick gives familiar two-player platforming a clearer identity, while the tool combinations keep the puzzles from becoming a simple sequence of switches. Fans of the approachable teamwork and cheerful chaos found in games like It Takes Two, Unravel Two, or Snipperclips should feel at home, especially if they want a lighter, less demanding adventure suitable for newcomers as well as seasoned co-op duos.
