THE SELECTION

Which game should you start with?

One screen can be enough for a good rivalry. This selection brings together turn-taking games and head-to-head action with a documented way for two people to play on the same device. Choose chess when you want to consider each move, bowling for a score contest, or separate-key battles when both players want to react at once. Check the chosen game's controls before starting.

How games make this list

  • The publisher explicitly describes same-device play or lists separate controls for two players.
  • A local two-player mode is part of the game, rather than an assumed online matchmaking feature.
  1. 3D Bowling

    Trade bowling turns on the same device and experiment with swipe-controlled spin to improve your delivery.

  2. 3D Chess

    Choose the shared-device chess option for a deliberate contest where reading your opponent's next move matters.

  3. 12 MiniBattles

    Use A and L for a changing set of one-button contests, including soccer and other physics-driven duels.

  4. Drunken Boxing

    Take the arrow keys or WASD for a boxing duel where managing the energy bar matters as much as throwing punches.

Do both players act at the same time?

It depends on the game. Chess and bowling suit taking turns, while 12 MiniBattles and Drunken Boxing give the players separate controls for head-to-head action. Same-device describes where you play, not a single control scheme.

Which picks use separate keyboard controls?

12 MiniBattles assigns A to player one and L to player two. Drunken Boxing lists the arrow keys for player one and WASD for player two. Open the game's control guide before choosing sides.
