Most of TwozyGames is curation. We test games other studios made and write about the good ones. The TwozyGames Originals are different, because we made them. We designed, coded and tested every one of them ourselves.
We built them for the way people use this site. Two people sit at one screen. They have a few spare minutes. Nobody wants to wait for a loading bar.
What Every Original Has in Common
Each game is one small file. It loads in about a second, with no download, no account and nothing tracked inside the game.
Every Original plays as a 2-player game on one keyboard. In the real-time games, Player 1 uses WASD and Player 2 uses the arrow keys, so two people fit side by side. In the turn-based games, you share the same keys and take turns.
Most of them also have a solo mode against a CPU, with Easy, Normal and Hard. The co-op games are the exception, because they are about working together. In those, one person plays both parts.
Many of them also work for two people on one phone. Some split the screen into two halves. Some give each player a row of buttons on their own edge. The board games are simply tapped in turn. Each game page says whether it works on one phone.
Duels You Win by Moving
Sumo Smash is the push-out duel. Every hit bounces both players, so a wild charge can throw you out instead. First to five rounds wins.
More in this style: Tank Duel (bouncing shells), Trail Duel (light-cycle walls), Fuse (a bomb rally), Flock (herd sheep without touching them) and Detour (one player runs, the other builds walls).
Sports
Spike! is volleyball with one button: jump. Hit the ball while rising to spike it down. Hit it standing still for a soft set.
Also in the sports set: Neon Hockey, Basket Duel and Penalty Kicks. In Penalty Kicks, the keeper can see where the kicker is aiming until the ball is struck.
Racing
Drift Duel has no brake. The car speeds up by itself, and steering is how you slow down.
We built five more racers. In Wake, the car in front cannot boost. Vector is a race you play one move at a time. Scull, Skip and Sluice make up the Triple Crown: rowing, hopping and swimming.
Board and Strategy Games
Tilt is four in a row with a twist. On your turn you can drop a stone, or turn the whole board and watch every stone fall somewhere new.
These are all games of thinking, not fast fingers: Cannon Duel, Overload, Spill, Fulcrum, Sleight, Nerve, Button and Bloom. Our board games list covers most of them.
Co-op: Win Together
Tether ties two orbs together with a rope. Both orbs must reach their pads at the same time. Anchor one orb and swing the other around it.
The other co-op games are Beam, Color Gates, Yoke and Quilt. In Quilt there is no timer and no way to lose. You just fill in one board together.
How to Play Them
Open the Originals hub and pick a game. On the title screen, choose Solo or 2 Players. To change the CPU level, press D or tap the difficulty chip. Then play.
