About
Wires and Whiskers is a fast-paced, two-player local co-op game where you control a cybernetic lab gerbil and its armed exosuit through tactical combat and magnetic puzzles.
Each player takes on a unique role: one handles agile movement and melee dashes (the gerbil), while the other manages long-range attacks and magnetic interaction systems (the exosuit). You must rely on precise coordination to survive an irradiated world overrun by mutated enemies and unstable tech.

This game is a 20-30 minute experience developed by students at ISART DIGITAL as part of their final year project!

This is such a fun and cute little co-op game. I know it's just a student demo, but they did really, really well, and I wish the game was a full-length. Game. Great job, guys. This is what co-op platformers should be.
doesnt work with keyboard/mouse and controller together
Unfortunately VERY short, but feels very polished.

It's not necessarily a feature-length game but it's incredible for a student project, nice job!
Won't even let me connect, hot buns.
Pretty decent for an indie game, pretty damn short though
Esse jogo é impressionantemente bom! zerei com meu amigo e depois também zerei com minha namorada. Fiquei triste de não ter um jogo maior um dia ou algo novo dos desenvolvedores (que eu descobri que eram estudantes quando fizeram o jogo e lançaram essa pedrada, estão de parabéns). Vale muito a pena e é de graça. Parabéns pelo trabalho.
