A magical vine fairy wakes you up to save the corrupted Garden Lands, but in order to grant you its powers, it needs to tangle with you ! Now you can neither get too far away nor get too close to your partner. Cooperate and survive intense 10-minute runs filled with chaotic hazards, adversaries, and bosses while tied to your 'berry' good friend in this fresh new twist on the bullet-heaven/horde-survival roguelite genre ! The magical vine allows you to share weapons with 'ping-pong' cooldown flowers that zip back and forth along the vine between you! Align, position, and time your attacks as the flower reaches you to effectively strike your foes! Brandish weapons like the Banana Sword to slash towards your friend's opposite direction, or surround enemies and zap them casting the magic of the Strawberry Rod ! Each weapon will require different strategies, and every attack adapts to the performer's build, allowing both players to customize the same weapons to their preffered upgrades and flavors. Craft powerful and unique builds with limitless combos and synergies, like unleashing multiple inflated Pumpkin Bombs causing massive Frosty Mayo explosions , or evolving your Strawberry Rod into a crit-hit monster engulfing enemies in Spicy Sauce flames ! Expand your arsenal by collecting golden seeds to unlock new weapons, items, sauces, and characters, all of which you can upgrade ranks to increase their powers between runs! True cooperation is what sets Vinebound apart. Not only are attacks influenced by your partner, but you must also work together to open treasures faster, strategically pick drops, combine builds and revive each other amidst overwhelming odds. It's about cultivating your synergy , even if it requires chaotic communication and a few screams. When playing solo, the vine fairy takes over the other end of the vine, echoing your basic movements but still able to move fast and independently as an aim . It’s immune to damage, can collect drops, and has its own upgrades, allowing you to strategize combos for more than one character. Experience the full potential of the vine gameplay without overwhelming yourself. Survive scenarios like entangling forests, slippery ice floors, and shifting lava walls , each with special conditions such as getting frozen and needing to be dragged by your partner, all while facing moldy elite enemies carrying shiny treasures and formidable bosses . Complete the game for the first time to unlock the Spicy Mode and challenge yourself with tougher settings using your enhanced arsenal and skills! Intense 10-minute runs that test your skills and cooperation. Innovative ping-pong cooldown system for your weapon attacks. True cooperative gameplay that requires synergy. Single-player mode that still feels like a fresh take . Powerful build combinations with weapons, items, characters, and sauces. Challenging stages with unique mechanics from hazards, elite enemies and bosses . Cards and characters to be unlocked and improved between your runs. Post-game content: Spicy Mode , with tougher settings for those who want an extra challenge.
