Vellichor Games has announced the release of Ticking Together, presented as a cooperative platformer set in a stylized cyberpunk city on the brink of collapse. The experience places players in a “Chaotic Hot Potato Challenge,” where cooperation and precise timing are essential to defuse a bomb and survive.

Set in a vibrant neon-lit environment, the game invites players to face constant pressure as they traverse areas filled with obstacles. In the 1 to 4 player co-op mode, coordination becomes crucial, as it is necessary to reset the bomb every 15 seconds to avoid an imminent explosion.

The experience stands out for its physics-based bomb-passing system, a mechanic that turns player interaction into a central part of the gameplay. Each pass involves risk and demands quick decisions, making every session unpredictable and highly replayable.

Among its highlights is the “Ticking Against Time” concept, in which a live bomb stays by the players’ side and must be scanned periodically. Synchronizing movements, running, jumping, and climbing through neon-lit cityscapes reinforces the focus on skill-based challenges.

The game encourages mastery of quick reflexes and perfect timing, as survival depends entirely on collaboration among players. Passing the bomb is not just an option; it is essential to progressing through each level.

Throughout the experience, time remains ruthless and every second matters. As emphasized in the line “In Ticking Together, time is ruthless and every second counts,” each scan grants a second chance and each pass carries significant risk, amplifying the constant tension that defines the entire adventure.
