Our take on Heave Ho 2
The defining mechanic is collective swinging: players hold onto one another and use coordinated releases to move the group from platform to platform.
What is Heave Ho 2?
Heave Ho 2 is a party game for two to four players, with local and online co-op plus versus play.
Players hold hands or heads, swing a linked group between platforms and pillars, and release at the right moment to cross each course. Falling produces a splattery defeat. Eight themed worlds include weightless space, kitchens, medieval settings, and ninja-themed areas. Courses feature interactive objects such as guns, drones, spaceships, ski lifts, keys, ketchup, and lasers. Versus mode pits friends against one another in a series of challenges, including scenarios built around competing with co-op teammates.
