Need a new local co-op game? Puzzle platformer Tentacle Tango looks great and challenging

Starving for more local co-op games to play with a partner? Tentacle Tango could be what you need and it looks really fun. It's out today with Native Linux support.

What's it about? It's a chaotic co-op platformer where two inseparable octopuses — Ten and Tango — swing, jump, flop, and fumble their way through dangerous and hilarious worlds. Whether played solo or in co-op, every terrain demands teamwork, timing, and a healthy tolerance for accidental tentacle mishaps. It may look cute, but the developer assures us it will put friendships to the test, along with your reflexes.
