I was searching through the compilation for games to play with my gf and noticed that Seaside Drive has a coop option, so we decided to give it a try.

After an hour of playing we cherried it. And I must say, it was a lot of fun!

The way coop works here is that one player controls the car's movement while another player takes care of shooting. It might sound lame if you never played the game but trust me, it works really well in this one.

As in any shmup, in Seaside Drive movement and attack are deeply intertwined. Yet, the game goes a step further and adds another relation between the two with the addition of brakes that influence the power of your projectiles.

The game itself is fairly unique. Visuals and music are great, controls are simple, and levels feel diverse yet balanced. What's more, threats you'll be facing feel weirdly fluid, with movements that make sense!

Overall, we had a good time and I'll definitely try to finish the game solo which must be much harder.
