About the Game

"Manners Be Damned!" is a couch co-op party platformer in which you and up to 8 of your friends will put your skills (and your friendships) to the test! Race through a trap-laden dungeon in a Temple Dash, or fight to the bitter end to keep control of what's most precious in a King of the Hat arena. The only tools you’ll have are your fancy canes - use them wisely - push each other into trouble, activate hidden mechanisms, send pesky projectiles towards your fellow competitors, or unceremoniously de-hat them for extra flare!

Death is cheap - so play it fast and loose to get any advantage!

Earn points for your speed, agility and cane-wielding mastery to prove you are the best gentleman!

FEATURES

  • Local co-op for up to 8 players (online play available with Steam Remote Play Together)

STEAM REMOTE PLAY TOGETHER

It is possible to simulate online play with Steam's in-built Remote Play Together feature. With the game running, open the Steam overlay (Shift + Tab) and simply invite friends through the Remote Play Together tab. Only the host will need to have the game!

(Note: this system only permits one keyboard device, so all other players will still need to use controllers.)
