"TwinCop" is a humorous, top-down shooter game that offers both single-player and local multi-player modes. In the two-player co-op mode, both players control the same character, TwinCop, moving in the same direction to heal and charge special abilities. The story mode is an over-the-top 80s satire, where you and your partner were fused together to become one super-cop after a pontoon boat accident.
