About CoThrust
CoThrust is a co-op focused adventure game set in a minimalist space environment. Developed by JKY Studio and released November 11 2025 it tasks players with navigating chaotic asteroid fields using thrust-based movement. The single player or two player co-op mode centers on managing limited fuel while avoiding collisions to reach a rescue ship. The game blends puzzle elements with physics-based mechanics requiring precise timing and teamwork. Its low-poly art style and tight controls make it feel modern yet retro. A short but intense experience for fans of cooperative problem solving.
Gameplay
Players control a spacecraft using arrow keys or WASD to adjust thrust direction. The core challenge is balancing momentum against obstacles while conserving fuel. Each level introduces new hazards like rotating debris fields or gravitational pull zones. Multiplayer adds complexity as partners must synchronize movements to avoid derailing each other. The rescue ship appears as a static target requiring careful approach. Sessions last 15-30 minutes with permadeath mechanics increasing tension. The lack of checkpoints and limited respawns force players to rethink strategies after each failure. Simple controls mask a steep difficulty curve that rewards patience and communication.
What Players Think
Community ratings average 4.3/5 with 75% completing the 10 level campaign. Average playtime is 6 hours though 30% play through it twice. Positive moods include Thrilled (68%) and Focused (42%) while Frustrated (28%) and Anxious (19%) reflect the challenge. Reviews praise "Addictive physics puzzles" and "Satisfying co-op moments" but note "Tough learning curve for solo players." Critics at GameSpot gave it 8.5/10 calling it "A tight thrill ride with great local multiplayer." Achievements total 100 with 72% completion average. The most earned is "Steady Course" for completing a level in under 90 seconds.
PlayPile's Take
CoThrust excels as a co-op puzzle game but struggles as a solo experience. The $19.99 price matches its short length but the 100 achievements and replay value justify the cost for competitive players. Best with a friend who shares your frustration tolerance. Its physics-based challenges and permadeath mechanics make it rewarding for puzzle fans but punishing for casual players. With 75% completion rates and high frustration metrics this is a game that divides opinions. Prioritize if you enjoy local co-op and don’t mind repeated failures.
