Biped 2 Dev Diary. P1
Dear adventure-seekers,
As you may already know, we're making Biped 2. And today we're ready to reveal some new secrets and details about what's to come!
As we've mentioned before, the game will be released simultaneously on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch and will include local and cross-platform online co-op. It's also getting a new four-player co-op mode!
There's just one question: which challenges await our new rescue team (or lone hero, since the game will have a single-player mode as well)? Today we'll be lifting the veil a little to tell you more about the upcoming journey.
You can look forward to 16 levels that will test your determination, coordinated teamwork, and... mastery of the game's new mechanics! Here's some more info about them.
1. Hot Potato
The rescue robots need to carry a ball to a certain spot in the level. But it's not as easy as it sounds! You have to kick the ball to get it moving, so calculate your trajectory well and make sure you get the ball past the obstacles and traps. Some challenges will require lightning-fast reflexes. The ball can "heat up,” at which point you'll have to immediately pass it to another explorer. Or it may change color after being kicked, requiring you to take turns kicking it.
2. Remote
This mechanic might remind you of a sliding puzzle or a dance-based arcade game. One of the explorers has a "remote,” a set of interactive cubes that activate platforms on the other explorer’s side that they can move across. Both will see the triggers that the first player has to step on, as well as the outlines of the platforms those triggers activate. But there's more to it than that! You’ll also have to watch out for fireballs flying over the platforms and coordinate your actions to change your route quickly.
3. Hang Glider
Get ready to soar to new heights! In addition to the familiar rail rides, you can now go hang gliding. Spread your wings to get through the aerial parts of the level, but be careful—your glider will descend eventually, so calculate your trajectory exactly.
4. Helicopter
If hang gliding isn't enough for you, we've got you covered! A helicopter controlled by both players will take you even higher. As one of the explorers grabs onto the device and becomes the helicopter's "hands,” the other one can interact with various objects while in midair. The player controlling the helicopter has to skillfully navigate between locations to get the other player to the next passable area with pinpoint precision, while also enabling them to access new areas along the way.
Tell us what you think about these new mechanics. And, of course, stay tuned for new details on Biped 2. We’ve got plenty more to share.
We are excited to officially announce that we are working on the second part of Biped. All these years we were listening to your thoughts, gathered feedback and finally we managed to start the production.
The game page is opened already and you could signup for the wishlist here:
What is planned and what kind of game you could expect? That is a question that we were working on for a long time and based on your feedback we came to the following:
The new game will be way longer and will include way more levels. Moreover, we plan to include an upgraded, easy-to-use and operate level editor!
2 new characters: After brave bipeds had reactivated all the beacons on Earth, they received a strange signal from a faraway planet. This can mean only one thing - someone is calling out for help! We will add 2 new playable characters and tons of new skins for all 4. Moreover, apart from familiar gameplay modes, we will introduce a new one - a 4 player co-op.
New beautiful bioms will be waiting for you to play. Some early sketches could be found below.
Elementals appeared on the surface of the planet, which left their usual habitats and began to interfere with the inhabitants of the planet. Try to find them all and use to pass the hard parts of the game.
Sliders, shields, slalom, helicopters and many more – all of that will be waiting for you and your friends.
Last but not least, the game will be released on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch simultaneously and will include the local and online cross-platform COOP.
Wow, we are waiting for all this bipedal fun together with you and will keep you posted on the progress. We hope that you will be able to try the Demo version of the game here on Steam in February 2025. Add the game to wishlist and follow and never miss the news!
See you, bipeds!
New bundle, optimization and Biped 2!
Dear adventurers,
We have got several great news for you and we are happy to share it.
First of all, we are working on an update for Biped on all the platforms including the Nintendo Switch. This update will open you a possibility to play online in COOP with your Nintendo Switch friends and is planned to be released in April – early May so stay tuned. Moreover, we worked more on the PC version of the game and were able to improve the optimization and make the online connection way more stable by moving to the new generation of the server solution.
Second, we are happy to announce our collaboration with Super Bunny Man. If you own Biped you could purchase this game with an additional 10% off discount that is available through the bundle:
We are sure that physics games attract each other and we will work further on getting more deals for you.
Third, a cherry on a pie: many of you were interested if we plan to release any new content for the game or update it with more levels so we decided to move even deeper: we are working on Biped 2 now! We are finalizing the store page so that you were able to wishlist it on Steam and will definitely let you know when we open it. Just to add some spices here: a coop for up to 4 players, way more levels, new mechanics and new heroes and many more.
Excited? Stay tuned, we will come back with the news soon!
