What is 2 Player Tag?
2 Player Tag is a local two-player action game developed by Zack Wheelhouse and released in December 2019. The core loop is simple: one player is 'it' and must tag the other. The player who is not 'it' at the end of a round earns a point. First to win four rounds takes the match. Each round drops you into a different level with its own visual theme, background music, and layout of obstacles to run around or through.
Keyboard controls for both players
Both players share one keyboard. Player one controls on the left side, player two on the right.
| Action | Player 1 | Player 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Move left | A | Left arrow |
| Move right | D | Right arrow |
| Jump | W | Up arrow |
| Mute audio | M (either player) | M (either player) |
| Quit to menu | Hold Esc | Hold Esc |
Scoring and how rounds work
The match is best out of four rounds. Each round has a clear winner based on who avoids being tagged.
| Situation | Result |
|---|---|
| You get tagged | You become 'it' |
| You are not 'it' at round end | You score a point |
| A player reaches 4 points | That player wins the match |
Tips for staying 'not it'
- Use the obstacles in each level as cover. Putting a platform or wall between you and the chaser buys time.
- Learn which direction your opponent tends to go after a tag. Most players lunge forward on instinct, so cutting behind them can flip the chase fast.
- Jump timing matters. W (or up arrow) launches you high, so use it to cross gaps the chasing player has to run around.
- Keep an eye on the score. If you are already ahead, playing defensively and running wide is smarter than going for aggressive plays near the chaser.
Free to play and works on most devices
2 Player Tag costs nothing and has no ads gating access. It runs in any modern desktop browser, and it also works on Chromebooks and mobile browsers, though the shared-keyboard mechanic means it is best suited to two people sitting at the same computer. No sign-up, no install, just open the page and play.
