Cobalt

Cobalt is Oxeye Game Studio's side-scrolling action game published by Mojang. The signature mechanic is an automatic-extreme-slow-motion trigger that kicks in when projectiles come close, letting you rocket-punch incoming missiles, deflect bullets with a combat roll, or line up impossible last-second headshots. Pulled off well, fights become a tight ballet rather than a shootout.

The story mode chases the disappearance of humanity across a remote colony, with a co-op partner option, tameable wasps and other pets, unnecessary dancing mini-games and boss fights. Outside the campaign sit six multiplayer modes: Survival, Combat and Speed challenges, Deathmatch, Team Strike (no respawns, multiple rounds, upgrades between), and Plug Slam (Cobalt's in-universe sport about slamming an electrical plug into a goal).

Over 80 maps host both local-couch and online multiplayer, and the arsenal totals 37+ ranged weapons, 33 melee weapons, six hand shields and assorted equipment. Customization extends to weapons and armor, and global leaderboards track competitive runs across all challenge types.
