Flag Rush
A full-screen platformer for the two of you. Run, jump and stomp over a course dealt fresh every match, past grumbles, snipers, cannons, fire bars and crumbling bridges; every section ends in a flag. Play it together on the week's course - a flag only counts when the second of you reaches it - and race the clock up the couples leaderboard, or play it as a duel against each other. Three rounds of six minutes.
how to play
run, jump, stomp
Arrow keys or A and D to run, space to jump - hold it for a big jump, tap for a hop. Land on a grumble, a flapper or a sniper to squash it; walk into one and you are done for.
dodge the rest
Cannons fire shells on a beat. Snipers aim a red line at you, then shoot. Fire bars spin, anvils drop on whoever stops beneath them, and fish leap out of the pits.
springs, pads and platforms
Springboards throw you up high walls, bounce pads anywhere. Platforms ferry you across pits and lift you up shafts; cracked blocks crumble half a second after you land.
timed gates
Step on the plate in front of a gate and it opens for three seconds. Sprint through before it shuts.
coins and items
Hit a ? block from underneath, or collect ten coins, for an item - press E. Ink, headwind and jam hit the other player; sprint and shield help you, and a shield takes one hit for you.
flags and the clock
Every section ends in a flag. Fall or get hit and you float back to your last one. Six minutes a round, three rounds, each on a brand-new course - most flags wins.
