Team up for a two-player pixel platform challenge: Blue uses WASD, Red uses the arrow keys, and each crewmate must stomp impostors of the matching colour.
About Hackers vs Impostors
Hackers vs Impostors is a free two-player co-op pixel platformer on GamePix, built in Construct 3 and released on December 5, 2022. Two crewmate-style heroes, one blue and one red, share a single keyboard: the blue player moves with WASD and the red player uses the arrow keys. Each level splits the screen into connected rooms filled with coins, spinning saw hazards and impostor enemies.
The twist is colour matching. Blue can only destroy the blue impostor, and red can only destroy the red one, so neither player can carry the other. You both have to reach and stomp your own target — GamePix's guide says enemies are taken down by landing on them, and double jumps help you dodge dangers. Clear every enemy to complete the level and move on from Lvl 1 to harder layouts.
Coins you collect can be spent in the in-game shop on skins. A '+5 coins' video button also appears, but it is optional; you can play without ever pressing it. The game runs in the browser on desktop and mobile (touch controls are available on phones) in landscape orientation.
Note: the crewmate look is inspired by Among Us, but Hackers vs Impostors is not an official Among Us game and is not made by or affiliated with Innersloth.
How to Play Hackers vs Impostors
- Sit two players at one keyboard: Blue takes WASD, Red takes the arrow keys.
- Read the level start text: each colour can only destroy the impostor of its own colour.
- Move through your side of the room, jumping over gaps and avoiding the spinning saws.
- Use a double jump to clear tall ledges or escape danger.
- Land on top of your matching impostor to take it down.
- Grab the gold coins along the way.
- Once all enemies are destroyed, the level is complete and the next one begins.

Tips and Tricks
- Talk to your partner: plan who moves first so you don't both get stuck on the same hazard.
- Don't chase the wrong colour — touching the other player's impostor won't clear it.
- Time your jump so you drop onto the impostor from above; walking into enemies is risky.
- Save the double jump for when you really need it, such as dodging a saw mid-air.
- Collect coins on the way; they add up for shop skins.
- The '+5 coins' video button is optional; skip it if you just want to play.
- Click the game window first so both sets of keys register.
