What Rikki & Vikki is
Rikki & Vikki is a 2D puzzle platformer where an unexpected visit from the Misery Dragon has left the two foxes with two fewer children and a lot of extra trouble. To get them back, you push through a series of awkward, hand-made puzzles and work your way to the core of Misery's secret base. The game runs on six colossal caverns holding 100 puzzles in total, so there is a steady stream of rooms to chew through rather than one long stretch. The look is pixel-based and cartoony, with high-definition graphics and seven colors on display, and the tone leans into dark humor as the foxes deal with their inconvenience.
Playing it with a friend
The whole thing is built for either one player or two, and the two-player version is its own adventure rather than a copy of the solo run. Two foxes and boxes can be on screen at the same time, so you are sharing space, moving objects, and solving rooms that expect both of you to act. Steam lists Remote Play Together, which means one person can host and a friend can join in over the network even if they do not own the game themselves. Locally, two people on the same machine can play together as well. Either way, the puzzles are the shared activity: you read the room, figure out what needs moving or triggered, and split the work.
Before you start
Expect difficulty. The tags call it difficult and old school, and the puzzles are meant to be mastered rather than walked past. Dynamic difficulty gives you a choice in how you approach it: play it loose and go for the story, or tighten it up and chase a high score. The 6 MEGA-POWER challenge is the framing for the run, and the six caverns give it structure. A controller is listed among the tags, so that is a comfortable way to play. Go in ready to fail a room a few times, talk it through with whoever is on the couch or in the call, and treat each puzzle as something to figure out together.
