From the Dumb Ways to Die team, they revealed Dumb Ways to Build - a chaotic physics-based co-op game filled with deadly construction jobs.

Another one to add to your list of co-op games to play with friends, you can never have enough right? This does look highly amusing. It will be quite cheap too at $7.99 USD.

From the press release sent to GamingOnLinux: "Welcome to Dumbville's least reputable construction company! Safety violations are likely, survival is optional, and your co-workers are the real occupational hazard. Dumb Ways to Build is a chaotic physics-based co-op game filled with deadly construction Jobs that no sane crew would touch. Rally your friends, and put their building skills (and friendships) to the ultimate test, facing both intentional and unintentional sabotage along the way. Players wield construction tools to build, panic and improvise their way out of chaotic, and often fatal, situations. Whether tackling the perilous jobsite with friends in up to four-player online co-op, or braving it alone in Solo Play, there really are so many Dumb Ways to Die."

Key Features
