Aim Assist is a two player rail shooter where two players must cooperate in order to succeed. Outside of pausing, every action in the game must be taken simultaneously between the two players; everything from shooting to going into an out of cover has to be coordinated, or the action will fail.

Aim Assist supports keyboard and controller, so pick whichever one you are more comfortable with. The controller control scheme is intended to work with both players holding the controller at once, with player 1 holding the left side of the controller and player 2 holding the right side of the controller.

The game has potential due to the look of the UI and the game itself. Unfortunately, when I tried to play it, I didn't understand what I had to do, so I read the game description and learned the controls (although I didn't understand exactly what Left Shift does).

When opening the game, a screen appears with a timer and some targets (which I move with w,a,s,d), but unfortunately I didn't understand how to play this game.

Also, as long as the timer reaches zero, the game does not stop.
