While Q2 HUMANITY has already been released on Steam Early Access, the Nintendo Switch™ version introduces two new features ahead of the Steam version: online play and skin customization.
What is Q2 HUMANITY?
Q2 HUMANITY is the latest addition to the physics-based puzzle game Q series, following Q REMASTERED.
●What is Q?
Q is a physics-based puzzle game whose Android/iOS version has been downloaded over 13 million times worldwide.
Its enhanced version, Q REMASTERED, is now available on Nintendo Switch™ and Steam (PC).
In the last year, Q received great attention, with many VTubers and gaming streamers showcasing it in their content.
▼Q REMASTERED
▼Take the ball out.
▼Maybe draw something to hook up?
The original Q was known for its simple yet enjoyable gameplay, where players solved puzzles by drawing objects.
While Q2 HUMANITY takes it a step further, introducing 18 new characters, each with unique abilities, allowing players to challenge over 300 puzzles with them.
▼The first character: ORDINARY PERSON
▼Control a human just like in a game.
▼Of course, you can still draw, true to the Q series.
What you draw will react according to physics laws — objects can fall, roll, be carried, and even be climbed.
Try to solve this puzzle: Humans should enter the red area. (You cannot draw in the blue area.)
▼Over 300 puzzles to solve! (As of August 28, 2024)
Characters have basic abilities like jumping, grabbing, throwing, and punching.
But there's more — someone can float with balloons, someone has superhuman strength, and someone can even unleash fire.
There are 18 unique characters in total.
They can be unlocked with special keys in specific stages.
▼This one can fly with balloons.
▼A total of 18 characters to choose from.
Explore new and creative ways to solve the puzzles!
Will you collaborate with your friends to solve the toughest one…? Or just, throw a monkey wrench into it…?
■Supports Online Play
The Switch version of Q2 HUMANITY offers not just offline multiplayer, but also online play.
※For stable gameplay, we suggest using a wired connection.
Q2 HUMANITY allows up to 4 players to join in.
Enjoy the game with your friends and family, or take on the challenge solo is also cool.
There are countless ways to solve each puzzle, offering endless enjoyment as there is no single correct solution. Experience both the satisfaction of solo play and the camaraderie of multiplayer cooperation — double the fun in one game!
■New Skin Customization
All 18 characters now have brand-new looks! Each character has one unique skin, totaling 18 skins can be unlocked by exchanging coins collected in the stages. What do the new skins look like? That’s for you to discover!
