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!

Very fun two player game. You need a controller to play though and if you only have one you need to go to the settings and check a box to assign the mouse character to the keyboard and the robot to the controller (the reverse is not possible) otherwise both the keyboard and the controller will be assigned to the Mouse character. Linux Exp: I tried proton 9, 10 and 11, all of this versions had a bug where the tutorial TV's video was broken and was replaced by old colored tv static (nice touch by the Devs). For me only on Proton-cachy 11 did the TV's work. I didn't experience any other issue on this version of proton. But the games launches and runs smoothly in all these versions, so if you don't mind the videos not loading you might have a good experience otherwise with the steam versions of Proton.
the game was trash, probably someone`s homework? Good idea but short, only console idk

Wonderful little game by a student group that could be expanded into a full-length game if they wanted. But maybe the short nature of it's perfect for what it is. It doesn't outstay its welcome and ends at just the right moment.
Juegazo, para ser gratis esta super bien hecho, buenos gráficos y muy entretenido para jugar con amigos. Lo único es que fue muy corto pero bastante divertido.
Cute little co-op game. Very enjoyable. Wish it had more to it!
和女儿一起用了半个小时通关了 难度不大,娱乐性强 期待后续
muy buen juego para pasar el rato, lastima que sea tan corto. igualmente 10/10
it was short and sweet, wish it were longer. I would def pay for a longer version
双人同屏精良游戏,推荐给手残和刚入门,比较简单,流程短,视角转移不流畅
特别好玩,小耗子和机器人你们99吧
