Wires and Whiskers is officially out! 🐭⚡

▶️ \ In this fast-paced 2-player local co-op game, one of you plays a cyber lab gerbil and the other, its armed exosuit. You’ll have to coordinate movement, attacks, and magnetic powers to survive an irradiated world of hostile machines.

- Couch co-op or Steam Remote Play Together support

- Dynamic mix of 2.5D navigation and top-down combat

- Two unique roles: agile melee vs. ranged magnetic powers

- Mutant enemies, tight puzzles, and smart coordination

- Playable in ~30 minutes — ideal for a quick, tactical session! 🎮 Controller Required: One player must use a controller, the other can use keyboard & mouse (or preferably another controller). Keyboard-only support is possible for the gerbil character only, but not recommended. 💬 Feedback or bugs? Scan the QR code in the main menu or join our discord Link : (https://discord.gg/EWXjvBXqYz)!

We've fixed a critical issue affecting progression!

What’s fixed:

• Resolved a bug where players would respawn at the wrong location after dying or reloading a checkpoint

• Save and checkpoint logic has been fully reworked to ensure consistent and fair placement

• This should prevent frustrating restarts and let you get back into the action smoothly!

• Let us know on Discord if you notice anything odd still happening after respawning.

We’ve released a small update to improve usability and accessibility!
