    Gather Resources and Craft Tracks

    Grab some friends and hop into a chaotic multiplayer co-op game of gathering resources and crafting railroad tracks to travel across the world in Unrailed! Encounter different inhabitants as you journey across more than five biomes in an endless procedurally generated world. Master challenges as you encounter them to keep your train moving.

    Unrailed! is a co-op game, so working together is of course important, but make sure to polish your communication skills! There’s only one of each tool necessary for gathering resources, so you and your friends will need to coordinate in order to succeed. You’ll also need to upgrade your train to prepare for the challenges you’ll face. Get an atomic engine, upgrade your crafting car, or upgrade one of the many other options. 

    Available Now!

    You can find Unrailed! on Steam, Epic Games, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch.

    Frenetic co-ops are nothing new. In fact, some of the funniest co-op games are these chaotic co-ops like Overcooked and Moving Out, where you need to work together with other players. However, you’re often creating more obstacles by being in each other’s ways. And Abracadabrew isn’t much different. This game just offers a fresh new take and setting to the genre.

    Become the Best Witch!

    Abracadabrew is a charming and adorable local couch co-op game. Gather up to four players and experience some frenetic fun. You and your friends will need to use your memory skills to brew as many potions as possible before dawn. Frantically run around each level to find the necessary ingredients hidden around the room, and be sure to communicate with each other to be successful!

    Experience the fun and chaos of running around for ingredients to brew potions in 25 unique levels. Each level has its own environments and layouts, with more levels to come. Every Abracadabrew level is randomly generated to provide limitless replayability, also. Unlock 20 different playable characters as you play through the game, too. You’ll even engage in intense boss battles where you’ll need to brew the correct potions in order to win. Prove you’re the best at brewing potions and battle for the top spot on Abracadabrew‘s leaderboard.

    Abracadabrew is an especially great game for families and friends to play together as it is made up of entirely family-friendly content. It’s perfect for all ages to play!

    Available Now!

    This adorably charming couch co-op game is available now on Steam

    Build Your Camp Through Teamwork

    For players who enjoyed the multiplayer chaos in such games as Overcooked and Moving Out, here’s your next fun couch co-op! Camped Out plays up to 4 players and your goal is to set up camp before dark falls. Work together as a team with family or friends to set up each camp and unlock more campsites. Players will rush to set up tents, build a campfire, and gather enough food in time to get into bed before night sets in. 

    Each character in Camped Out has a camper’s backpack that holds a tent, lantern, and some shared tools. Each player also has a cook pot to cook their nightly meals in. You are in control of where to place things, so choose wisely or they may hinder you! Chop wood, gather stones, and go fishing in order to get the campsite ready. Just don’t leave materials lying around or they may disappear. 

    Coming September 22

    While a demo is available now on Steam, the game will be available fully on September 22nd. Camped Out! Will be on Steam for PC and Switch consoles.

    Tools Up is another fun couch co-op.

    Today marks the official release of Moving Out on Nintendo Switch.

    Moving Out is the latest and greatest in the recent stream of well-made couch co-op indie games. It is a whacky and hilarious adventure title that has you taking on the role of a mostly inefficient moving crew.

    Become a Furniture Arrangement & Relocation Technician (F.A.R.T), and help the inhabitants of Packmore move from one place to another. You and your team at Smooth Moves (see… hilarious) must do everything in your power to move all the furniture you can in the shortest amount of time.

    With the release of the game came a new launch trailer, which can be viewed below. The game is currently available through the Nintendo eShop for $24.99, where you can find plenty more info on the game, as well as a demo if you’d like to try before you buy.

    We love cooking games here at MyPotatoGames. There is something about making virtual meals and feeding virtual bellies that never stops being wholesome. We are always looking for new iterations on this classic, cute gaming staple. Our latest find is Tiny Kitchen, currently in development by GhostGoats. It’s a cooking simulation in the voxel style.

    About Tiny Kitchen:

    Tiny Kitchen gives you the ability to create your dream kitchen. You will play through 9 levels. Each level unlocks a new type of food. You can turn around and replay levels with the new food to attempt beating your previous time.

    Your customers orders vary depending on what appliances you have in your kitchen, and what food items you choose to stock. The more variety you have, the more customers you can bring in, and the more money you can make. If you aren’t careful, though, you’ll spread yourself too thin by trying to accommodate everyone!

    Game Features:

    • 9 Unique Levels
    • Couch Co-Op
    • Xbox One Controller Support
    • Endless Mode
    • 30 Recipes

    Features in Development:

    Currently in development are more:

    • Recipes
    • Levels
    • Events
    • Appliances
    • New Customer Types
    • And More!

    The game is currently being developed for PC. The demo is currently available to play on itch.io. You can follow the developer on Twitter or watch their Game Dev Streams on Twitch.

    Looking to chef it up? Why not try the classic Cooking Mama? Like co-op cooking? Play the ever-exciting Overcooked.

    Medium Rare is couch co-op created by FlareWolf Games, a Canadian indie developer. Although their recent Kickstarter campaign was unsuccessful, they are very far along in development and will be able to release the game on Nintendo Switch by winter of 2019. Afterward, they intend to release the game on PC, with other major console platforms to follow. Since dragons are HOT right now, we at myPotatoGames recommend trying out their demo on PC here.

    About Medium Rare

    Two to four players chase each other around an arena aiming to set fire to each other. Then, once you’re cooked, you change into a tasty chicken (errr… dragon) leg! The winner is the dragon who scores the most points by eating as many chicken legs as possible! Furthermore, each round will take you only a couple of minutes, so the action is fast, easy to learn, and there are ample opportunities for both new players and experienced pros to have fun!

    Game Modes

    • Deathmatch mode (pick up and play with your casual and skilled gamer friends)
    • Gauntlet mode (more challenging mode where you compete against your friends through an escalating gauntlet of map hazards!)
    • Challenge mode… complete puzzle levels on your own or with a friend to unlock more characters!
    • Speed mode… race together or on your own through deadly gauntlets relying on your wits, reflexes and fireballs to survive!
    • Hoard mode… you alone or together with a friend blast fireballs at… well… skeletons and zombies, of course!

    The Dragons

    Vlad, Merlin, Rosa, and Mango are four dragon friends! Their playful behavior is typical for young dragons. They love to chase each other, shoot fireballs, and cook each other into chicken legs to eat! (They’re dragons, don’t judge.) At any rate, dragons are highly magical and therefore, after getting cooked, they quickly reappear in the world to rejoin the fun!

    • Rosa: is a headstrong young dragon. You can literally describe her personality as “fiery!” 
    • Merlin: is Rosa’s big brother. He’s a friendly dragon and his very cool personality caused his skin to turn blue!
    • Vlad: is the bad boy of this dragon bunch. For him, it’s fun chasing Rosa and Merlin around and showing the two younger dragons who’s in charge!
    • Mango: is well… Mango. This kooky, carefree dragon joined up with Rosa, Merlin, and Vlad and very little is known about her or where she comes from… but we’re guessing she’s got a pretty interesting story that will be revealed in time.

    If you can’t get enough of dragons right now like us, you can vote for your favorite one in this poll here. Want to play more party games? Mowin’ & Throwin’ will be available on Steam and also the Nintendo Switch next week!
