It Takes Paws Shows Two-Player Rope Physics at Tokyo Game Show 2026
The demo puts cooperation ahead of solo play: a two-player action game where the shared object being controlled is also the obstacle, and physics mastery is the skill check.

Awoo Studio's It Takes Paws is playable at the 2P Games booth at Tokyo Game Show 2026. Two players control a cat named Wufan and a dog named Bazahei, who carry their owner, a boy transformed into a floppy noodle human, as a rope between them. The pets cannot let go, so both players must coordinate jumps and swings, building centrifugal force to launch each other to distant platforms. The release date is undecided.
The owner is the rope. Wufan holds one end, Bazahei holds the other, and neither pet can let go, so the boy in between moves only as fast as both players agree.
Jumps fall short when the timing diverges. One player climbs a platform, spins the partner around, and uses the stored momentum to reach a distant ledge. The playtest covered stage-clearing only; the story was not shown. Awoo Studio has not set a release date.
