Out now, requires a controller it seems.

Push Me Pull You is an award-winning local multiplayer game about friendship and wrestling. Joined at the waist, you and your partner share a long, wriggling body as you wrestle your opponents for control of the ball. Since you're sharing the same body, you'll need to carefully communicate (or just shout a lot). With every action affecting both you and your partner, PMPY combines the best parts of co-op multiplayer with the worst parts of your last breakup.
Frantic local multiplayer gameplay in the vein of Sportsfriends or Towerfall.
Compete in multiple game types that will test your friendship in different ways, or play around in a sandbox area filled with toys and secrets.
Low on controllers? Share a controller with a friend or try controlling two heads simultaneously - a two-player game can be played with just one controller!
Accessible yet deep - play it as a noisy party game or hold a fiercely competitive grudge match.

Hi everyone, as peter&thepigeon points out, the game was originally a PC title. At a certain point in development though, we had to come to terms with the fact that PMPY just wasn't going to work with keyboard input.
99% of keyboards lock up when too many/certain combinations of keys are pressed (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rollover_%28key%29), and any given moment of PMPY requires a whole lot of input, despite having realatively simple controls.I know it's a pretty big hurdle, and we definitely understand some people just aren't going to be able to justify buying the game, but the alternative is that we ship something that is broken for a lot of people.
All that said, if you're able to get some controllers, I highly recommend having them. Super cheap knockoff xbox controllers work just as well as the real thing and I use them all the time. We've also done our best to make sure controllers are used as economically as possible - you can play 4 players on two controllers by sharing either end between your team.

Hi again! We've actually been thinking a lot about the issue of keyboard support, and we think we've found a neat way to include it while still keeping controllers as the primary method of control.
It turns out you can get around key lock by just plugging in more keyboards, and with two keyboards plugged in, you can actually play a pretty good (if a little cramped) 4-player match.
This is not something we're going to be advertising too much, as it's still not ideal. We're still going to keep the "Requires a Controller To Play" tag up on the storepage, and you're only going to be able to activate keyboard mode through a hidden menu. But we figured it's way more likely that people are going to have a spare keyboard lying around than a couple of controllers.
We'll keep everyone posted on how exactly it will work closer to release, but hopefully this means that some people who wouldn't otherwise be able to play will now be able to! It also means that the game will work better with weird custom controllers if anyone out there wants to build some (hint).
