About the Game

Welcome to the Colony… or what’s left of it! But Why Together is a short, chaotic, and fun co-op platformer where a brave penguin leaves the colony in pursuit of the ultimate truth. Playable solo or with friends, your goal is simple: jump between platforms, dodge unexpected hazards, and whatever you do—don't fall into the water!

Navigate perilous courses, dodge giant rolling snowballs, and survive collapsing platforms. But beware: the biggest threat isn't the environment. The real danger is the penguins standing right next to you.

Friendship is Temporary, the Parkour is Forever
Co-op doesn’t always mean cooperation. In But Why Together, you have all the interactive tools to either "help" your friends or send them straight into the abyss.

Slap 'Em
Patience is a virtue, but a good slap is faster. Slap your friends to clear your way, or push them off platforms just when they think they're safe. Trust no one!

Watch Out! Snowball Impact
Why jump when you can be launched? Throw a snowball at your friend and watch them fly from the impact. Use it strategically, or with pure malicious intent to send them into the water.

Celebrate the Chaos
Did you just watch your best friend fail a jump for the tenth time? The only logical response: hit the dance button and assert your dominance on the ice.


Key Features:

Challenging Platforming Experience: Jump, dash, and survive on collapsing platforms and dangerous courses.

Chaotic Co-op Multiplayer: Gather your friends for a fun party experience filled with inevitable betrayal.

Interactive Trolling Mechanics: Slap, throw snowballs, bounce your friends around, and dance!

Short and Sweet Adventure: Test your friendships with fast-paced, meme-worthy fun.
