About Pyramidion
Pyramidion is a physics‑based co‑op game where you and one or two friends move a massive stone up a pyramid without breaking it. The game asks you to read each stretch, choose when to push, wait, or use tools, and keep the stone progressing toward the summit.
When the stone shatters you return to the last checkpoint, letting the team rethink the approach without replaying the whole climb. Success relies on coordinated pushes, tool use, and timing rather than solo actions.
01 / THE GUIDE
Co‑op Gameplay
Players form a group of two or three, with one member moving the stone while the others clear obstacles. The description stresses reading the situation and coordinating pushes or waits to avoid breaking the stone.
Both online and LAN connections are supported, allowing friends to join from different locations or the same network. The game’s focus stays on shared decision‑making throughout each climb.
- Discuss each push before acting to keep forces balanced.
- Assign a dedicated path‑clearer when obstacles appear frequently.

Tools and Abilities
Bows, whips and torches can be used to overcome obstacles and support teammates. The whip is noted for boosting a teammate’s speed and pushing power, adding a layer of strategic assistance.
Each tool requires timing; sometimes a powerful push is needed, other times waiting for the right moment yields better progress. Choosing the right tool at the right time is part of the puzzle.
- Try the whip just before a difficult push to add extra force.
- Reserve torches for obstacles that directly block the stone’s path.

Checkpoint System
If the stone shatters, the team returns to the last checkpoint rather than the start of the level. This lets you regroup quickly and adjust strategy without replaying a long stretch.
Checkpoints therefore reduce repetitive climbing and keep the pacing focused on problem‑solving. Knowing where checkpoints lie helps plan risky pushes.
- Note checkpoint locations to decide when a risky push is worth it.
- Use the reset at a checkpoint to test new tool combinations.

Online and LAN Co‑op
Pyramidion offers both online and LAN co‑op, letting friends connect via the internet or a local network. Both connection types are supported for playing together.
You can bring one or two friends, creating a flexible small‑group experience without requiring larger parties.
- Test your LAN setup before a session to avoid latency spikes.
- Invite friends with stable internet for smoother online play.

Achievements and Leaderboards
The game integrates Steam Achievements, Steam Leaderboards and Stats, allowing players to track progress and compare performance with others. These features add a competitive layer to the cooperative play.
The game includes Stats tracking, which can give insight into how the team handles each segment of the climb.
- Review your stats to spot which pushes cause most breaks.
- Aim for higher leaderboard positions by minimizing stone shatters.
