Two player games, one device
One screen.
Two players.
GamesDuo makes tiny games for two people sitting next to each other. One key each on a shared keyboard, or one thumb each on a shared phone. A round takes seconds.

Loop Race
Player 1
0 : 0
Bot
Press Start. You are the yellow side.
Mash A to lap the loop twice. Got company? Switch to 2 players and hand them L. The speaker button turns on the announcer (generated voices, off until you press it).
How it works
Same sofa. Same screen. Different sides.
-
Step 1
Sit side by side
One laptop or one phone lying flat between you. Nothing to install and nobody signs in.
-
Step 2
Take a side
Player 1 gets the A key or the left pad. Player 2 gets the L key or the right pad. That is every control there is.
-
Step 3
Hit Rematch
A round is over in seconds and the score stays on screen. The loser always wants one more.
Why it is different
Built for the two of you, not for a lobby.
Rounds in seconds
The longest game here runs about twenty seconds. Short enough for the kettle.
One button each
No tutorial and no settings screen. If you can find one key, you can play.
Two thumbs, one phone
Each side of the screen is a big pad. Both can be pressed at the same moment.
A bot when you are alone
Nobody around? Player 2 turns into a bot that taps at a steady, beatable pace.
No adverts between rounds
The site shows no adverts, so Rematch means the next round and nothing else.
Nothing is kept
No account, no cookies, no leaderboard. The score lives in the tab and goes when you close it.
The games
Three to play. Three on the way.

Questions
Before you sit down
How do you play two player games on one keyboard?
Each player gets one key at opposite ends of the keyboard: A for player 1 and L for player 2. Your hands never cross, and both keys can be pressed at the same time.
Do the games work on a phone?
Yes. Lay the phone flat between you. The yellow pad on the left is player 1 and the pink pad on the right is player 2.
Is GamesDuo free?
The three games on the site are free to play in the browser. There is nothing to buy and no account to make.
Grab someone. Take a side.
One screen. Two players. Best of three takes about a minute.
