Mekazoo’s local co-op multiplayer debuting at PAX Prime

Good Mood Creators announced a new mode for its 2D platformer Mekazoo today. The game will feature local cooperative multiplayer, the studio has revealed. This mode will debut at PAX Prime 2015.
Here’s how it works:
In Mekazoo, the stylish mekanimals challenge levels in pairs as a tag team, seamlessly switching between each other at the touch of a button. In cooperative multiplayer, each player controls a single mekanimal, the inactive player controlling only the “switch” button to transform to their animal, creating dynamic moments of teamwork and cooperation.
Overcoming certain obstacles requires the ability specific to one character in the duo, so in order to advance through each level players must alternate between the two characters. Oftentimes players will need to quickly switch back and forth between both mekanimals to progress, making proper timing essential when tagging characters in and out.
There are a total of five mekanimals in Mekazoo: the armadillo, frog, wallaby, panda, and high-flying pelican.
Mekazoo will be available on Wii U in Q1 2016. View some screenshots below.
