Two-Player Games
Two-player games are made for playing side by side. You and a friend share the same device, each with your own controls, and play against each other or sometimes together. They are easy to start and quick to restart, which suits a break between other things.

What counts as a two-player game here
We only list a game when two people can play on one device, through a two-player mode or shared keyboard controls. Online-only multiplayer does not count. Basketball Stars lets you share the keyboard for local matches, Boxing Gang Stars offers a two-player mode with separate punch and block keys, Fish Eat Grow Mega lets a friend join as a second fish, and Madness Driver Vertigo City and Real Cars Epic Stunts have split controls for two drivers.
How to pick one
Keyboard games usually give each player one side of the keyboard, so agree on who takes which keys before you start. Pick a racing or fighting game for direct rivalry, and a growth game for a more relaxed match. Games with short rounds make it easy to swap seats and play again.
