Platforms: PC
Kukoro: Stream Chat Games is a mini-game compilation that provides remarkable Twitch community engagement. Currently, the compilation consists of fourteen game modes. Each mode comprises of different gaming genres elements for a mix mash of interactive excitement.
Twitch viewers, subscribers, and Kukoro players (who play and stream the game) can all be a part of the gaming experience. Similar to players, newly spawned viewers and subs can operate their own Individual character, entirely through chat-based commands.
The commands allow players to move about independently, boost their speed, and even attack/ dodge – to get one over on their opponent. However, in certain situations co-operation with other viewers is necessary, too. For example, when challenging the big bad streamer.
For those who own the game, Kukoro lets you enjoy an abundance of extra features, all without a subscription. This includes the ability to earn experience, and unlock secret skins and emotes. These skins are then accessible by your subscribers to give them the recognition they deserve!
