How to split the roles
When one of you plays more than the other: who takes which seat in Chained Together, and why.
Set the pace and call each jump
Everyone is chained and the chain is fully simulated, so one player's move pulls on the others.
Play Beginner Mode
Beginner Mode adds checkpoints; Normal is described as punishing.
Skill-gap friendly · higher is easier
2out of 5
Beginner Mode checkpoints help, but every player is physically chained to the others.
Little help: no assist found or only minor aids; both players must aim, time jumps or handle physics about equally well.
Easy to coordinate · higher is easier
1out of 3 · Hard
Chain physics make every jump a joint move.
Hard: constant talking, or one player sees or knows what the other needs.
The roles Same moves for both
All climbers are chained together with the same moves.
Climber (every player, chained) Demanding
Demanding seat: platforming and timing.
Climbs while chained to the others; the chain wraps around platforms.
- Platforming
- Timing
- Talking it through
Help for the newer player
- Beginner Mode adds checkpoints.
Ways to split the work
- Start in Beginner Mode, which adds checkpoints.
- Watch the chain: it is fully simulated and wraps around platforms.
