In Bread & Fred, players should test their skills working together as they control a couple of penguins that try to climb a mountain. It’s a hard game that requires precision with every jump, as a rope connects the penguins, and both players need to coordinate their movements to make progress. Most of the mechanics in Bread & Fred require precisely timed jumps, and swinging each penguin with skill to avoid falling while reaching higher places.
