What Koala Kids is
Koala Kids is a puzzle-platformer in the style of retro games like Lode Runner. You play as a koala and set out to save your captured friends from the evil hunters. The whole thing is 2D pixel graphics with a cartoony, colorful look, and it runs as a side scroller where each screen is a puzzle to work out rather than a straight run to the right. There is a single player campaign to work through, plus character customization so you can change how your koala looks before heading in.
Playing it together
The game includes local hot-seat Coop, so two people can share the campaign by taking turns. Steam also lists Remote Play Together, which lets friends join in over a connection instead of sitting at the same machine. Either way, the co-op is built around the same puzzle-platforming as the single player, so you are trading turns and solving stages rather than playing a separate mode. Expect the same careful platforming and trap-reading in co-op as you get on your own.
Making your own levels
There is a level editor included, aimed at anyone who wants to build their own stages. That means the game does not stop when the campaign runs out — you can design puzzles in the same style and hand them to friends to try. Since the core of the game is figuring out how to move through a screen, editor levels lean on the same ideas: routes, timing, and hazards.
Before you start
This is a retro-style puzzle-platformer, so progress comes from reading a screen and working out the solution, not from fast reflexes alone. It is tagged family friendly and casual, but the Lode Runner lineage means stages are meant to be picked apart. The soundtrack is called out as a strong point, and the pixel art and cute presentation carry the tone throughout. Go in expecting short, self-contained puzzles, a campaign you can play solo or hot-seat with a friend, and an editor waiting when you want to make your own.
