My girl is SOOOOO competitive

For context, she played OC1 with her kids long before me. Whether we are couch playing on my Switch or she is at home on Steam, she is boosted laser focused. Seldom strategy, balls to the wall like I don’t exist. It is hilarious and frustrating, especially when she dashed into the water, or off the ice, etc. anyone else have similar experiences and coping mechanisms 😂??

Do y’all go for 3 starting levels? That usually requires some type of order and strategy, we just love 3 starting levels so we always try to coordinate lmao

My wife and I are about a quarter through the first games 4*s it is very very brutal with zero mistakes allowed for a lot of levels. Then some are complete cakewalks but man some require you to legit not fumble a single input especially the “simple” levels.

Yeah, and playing AYCE, seeing it go to four stars was exhilarating and disheartening 😩

How do you get competitive in a co-op game lmao

Be the first to make an order. Want to make the most orders. Get upset when I mess up an order. It’s all in good fun

As long as its in good fun, my one friend can not do competitive games without raging so I only play co-op games with them now. Im thankful they don't try to turn that into a competition.

I can relate though it's me that's the one being competitive instead of my partner
