All You Need Is Help

All You Need Is Help is a cooperative puzzle game where each player controls a fluffy Tetris-style character. Play involves coordinating with each other to manoeuvre into position because you can't rotate without help from your teammates. It stands out for the simple pattern-matching premise, cute characters and the requirement to communicate clearly in order to progress.

With three friends, you each play a customisable, fluffy, cube-shaped creature. You can move around the level freely, however you can't rotate without pressing against solid walls or another player. There are different challenges, and each requires you to work together and collaborate to get into position, traverse the level or escort someone to their destination. As you progress you can customise how your Tetris-shaped characters look with different accessories and add-ons.

The result is a fun challenge, similar to Mario Party, but with a focus on collaboration rather than competition.
