Is Push Your Family worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Groups wanting a multiplayer party game instead of a solo-focused experience
- Players who enjoy physics-based pushing and slapstick hazards rather than conventional combat
- Friends seeking both individual-survival and team-based match modes instead of one fixed format
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a story-driven campaign, since the current modes center on standalone matches and challenges
- Those who prefer precise, predictable movement over physics-based collisions and environmental hazards
- Players looking for complex controls, since movement and pushing use a joystick and one button
Our take on Push Your Family
The defining detail is its two-input premise: one joystick moves a family member, while one button sends another family member flying across a hazardous arena.
What is Push Your Family?
Push Your Family is a multiplayer party game built around physics-driven movement and slapstick collisions.
Players use one joystick to move and one button to push family members across interactive battlegrounds. Hazards include rollercoasters, waves of penguins and malfunctioning rockets. Battle mode asks players to be the last family member alive, while Capture the Flag divides them into teams. In Quarantine, players are stuck in a locked house and must reach the Disinfector 9000 and pass a treacherous camera at the front door; only one family member makes it outside. Movement includes jumping, kicking and backflips. Outfits and hats can be unlocked. Special Settings involving altered gravity, larger heads, increased strength and other effects are described as coming soon.
