Men on the Flying Trapeze

About

Men on the Flying Trapeze is a two-player co-op game where timing and coordination keep you from falling. You control circus acrobats swinging between trapezes, using just one button per player to release grips or adjust speed. Press and hold to accelerate when descending or slow when climbing. Success depends on balancing momentum with precise releases, as missed moves send you plummeting. The simple controls hide tricky physics, turning each swing into a rhythm-based challenge. The game’s charm lies in its stripped-down design and the frantic teamwork required. With no complex menus or tutorials, it’s easy to pick up but tough to master. Community reviews highlight its addictive replay value and the hilarious missteps that come from fumbling with a friend. Released in 2010, it remains a cult favorite for quick, chaotic co-op fun.

Storyline

A little while back Kokoromi organized yet another Gamma party. The theme for this year’s gamma was “one button games”. So we decided to give it a go and do a two player version of The Amazing Flying Brothers. You play as the infamouse flying brothers as they try to perform the flying trapeze act. The game is a two player coop game. Your job is to get as big of a score as you can. Controls: Player 1: Left shift. Player 2: Right shift. The game is a one button game, so no more then one button per player is needed. Tap on the button to release your grip. Holding down on the button will cause you to speed up or slow down. If you press down, when going down you’ll accelerate. If you press down when going up, you’ll slow down.
