Strap in for slapstick 2-4 player thrills in co-op or versus play, as you grab, grapple and swing through eight anarchic themed worlds – from weightless space to kitchen chaos. Lend your friends a helping hand or send them tumbling to their doom. Either way it’s a riot.

For the first time, leap into full online co-op and versus play with 2-4 people, in addition to the classic couch multiplayer that made the original Heave Ho so beloved. Explore eight all-new worlds brimming with new mechanics and scenarios, and get your hands on an array of gadgets including pop guns, sauce bottles, levers, keys and drones.

Heave Ho 2 will make you laugh and swear at your friends in equal measure.

Alexandre Muttoni, co-founder and art director at Le Cartel, said, in French: “Un an et demi à développer Heave Ho, et 4 ans et développer Heave Ho 2. On a passé 5 ans et demi de nos vies à créer des personnages sans jambes qui font des pets. Je ne regrette rien.” We'll let you take that one right on over to Google Translate.

Heave Ho 2 is available now on PC, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.

The Nintendo Switch 2 version supports GameShare, allowing one player with the game to share it locally or online with up to 3 other players, and also CameraPlay, letting players insert their own faces onto the characters.
