About This Game

Cuffed Buddies is a ragdoll-driven, physics-based co-op adventure where two unlucky criminals break free from prison — but not from each other. Chained wrist-to-wrist, you and a partner must stumble, scramble, and scheme your way through cops, hazards, and hilarious disasters in a desperate bid for freedom.

Story

You and your buddy aren’t masterminds — you’re just two small-time crooks who happened to escape during a prison transfer gone wrong. But there’s a catch: the cuffs never came off. Now, every step of your journey to freedom is complicated by the iron chain linking you together. What should be a quick getaway turns into a slapstick struggle against the world, the law, and your own clumsy coordination.

Gameplay & Mechanics

• Physics-Driven Co-Op: Every move matters because you’re both physically tethered. Run too far ahead and you’ll drag your partner to the ground. Mis-time a jump and you’ll yank each other into the pit below.

• Shared Momentum: Use the chain to swing each other across gaps, climb together, or fling your buddy like a wrecking ball. Success requires teamwork — failure leads to comedy.

• Dynamic Ragdoll Chaos: The game’s ragdoll physics turn mistakes into hilarious moments. Expect faceplants, pratfalls, and awkward flailing as you fight against the world (and each other).

• Hazards & Enemies: From patrolling cops to environmental traps, the world won’t make your escape easy. Outsmart guards, dodge vehicles, and improvise with anything you can grab.

• Grab, Throw, Wreck: Pick up weapons, toss objects, or literally throw your buddy at enemies and obstacles. The chain is both a curse and a tool — learn to use it.

Goals & Progression

Your ultimate goal is simple: escape together. But every level introduces new challenges that force you to rethink how you move and cooperate. One stage might test your timing with tricky jumps, while another demands clever use of the chain to bypass guards or environmental hazards.

As you progress, you’ll discover more chaotic scenarios — collapsing bridges, tight corridors, vertical climbs — each one pushing your teamwork (and patience) to its limit.

Playtime & Replayability

• Campaign Mode: A series of handcrafted levels designed to challenge your coordination, timing, and creativity.

• Endless Chaos: Thanks to ragdoll physics, no two runs ever play out the same way. Even failure is part of the fun.

• Co-Op Options: Play online or locally with a friend — laughter and frustration guaranteed either way.

Style & Soundtrack

The game features a lighthearted, cartoony art style to emphasize slapstick chaos rather than gritty realism. A playful soundtrack keeps the mood fun, while sound effects amplify the ridiculousness of every stumble, crash, and scream.

What Makes It Unique

Unlike most co-op games where players can split up, Cuffed Buddies forces you to always act as one. Every victory feels earned, every mistake is shared, and every moment creates a story worth retelling. It’s a game where teamwork is mandatory, failure is hilarious, and friendship is put to the ultimate test.

Can you escape when freedom means never letting go?
