Super Bunny Man is an addictive platformer with roguelike elements that became a hit thanks to its chaotic gameplay and humorous design. Many players do not even suspect that there is a hidden co-op mode for two playershidden feature in the game that allows you to complete levels with a friend on the same screen. But how to activate this mode on an Android device if the game is not initially optimized for multiplayer? In this guide, we will look at all the methods - from official settings to workarounds using gamepads and emulators.

The main problem is that the mobile version Super Bunny Man does not support split-screen out of the box, unlike the PC version. However, with the help of third-party apps, proper controller setup, and even some touch tricks, co-op play can be achieved. It is important to understand: stability of operation depends on the smartphone model, Android version and accessories used. For example, on Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra with the latest firmware, a co-op may run smoother than on a budget one Redmi Note 10 due to the difference in performance.

In this guide we will look at:

  • 🎮 Official and unofficial ways to start a co-op
  • 🕹️ Setting up gamepads for two players (Bluetooth and USB)
  • 📱 Alternative methods using emulators and screen mirroring
  • ⚙️ Optimizing performance for smooth gameplay

1. Checking co-op support in your version of the game

Before trying to set up a game for two, make sure that your version Super Bunny Man generally supports multiplayer. Developers periodically update the game, and functionality may vary.

To check this:

  1. Open the game and go to the main menu.
  2. Click on the icon Settings (gear in the upper right corner).
  3. Scroll down to the section Game Modes.
  4. If there is an item there Local Co-op —you're in luck: the game supports co-op mode. If not, you will have to use workarounds.

At the time of writing, co-op is available in versions of the game 1.4.5 and higher, but only on devices with Android 9.0+. On older smartphones (for example Samsung Galaxy S8 with Android 8.0), this mode may be absent or malfunction.

⚠️ Attention: If your version of the game does not have an item Local Co-op, do not try to update it through third party APK files. This may result in account ban or loss of progress. It is better to use the methods from section 3 (emulators).

2. Setting up an official co-op (if supported)

If your version of the game supports local co-op, the algorithm for connecting a second player is as follows:

☑️ Preparing for co-op

Done: 0 / 4
  1. Connect two gamepads to the device via Bluetooth or USB-OTG. Recommended models: two gamepads data-i="81">first gamepad Xbox Wireless Controller, DualShock 4, 8BitDo Pro 2.
  2. Run Super Bunny Man and select from the menu Local Co-op.
  3. Press any button on first gamepad - Player 1 (blue rabbit) will appear.
  4. Press any button on second gamepad player 2 (red rabbit) will connect.

If the second gamepad is not detected:

  • 🔄 Reconnect it in the Android settings (Settings → Connected devices → Bluetooth).
  • 🔋 Check the controller's battery charge (below 20% may cause lags).
  • 📱 Restart your smartphone - sometimes the system “forgets” connected devices.

In official co-op, the screen does not share —both players see the same field, but control different characters. This can be inconvenient at high levels, so many prefer alternative methods (see section 4).

💡

If you do not have a second gamepad, you can use application Octopus for emulating a controller via a second smartphone. More about this in section 5.

3. Using emulators for co-op (if there is no official mode)

If your version Super Bunny Man does not support multiplayer, you can run the PC version of the game through the emulator BlueStacks or LDPlayer. In them, the co-op works more stable, plus it is possible to configure a split screen.

Instructions for BlueStacks 5:

  1. Download and install BlueStacks s official website.
  2. Launch the emulator and log in to your Google account.
  3. Install Super Bunny Man via Play Market inside the emulator.
  4. Connect two gamepads to the PC (or one gamepad + keyboard).
  5. In the settings BlueStacks go to Controls → Game Controls and set up controls for the second player.
  6. Start the game and select Local Co-op.

Advantages of this method:

  • 🖥️ Support for split screen (split screen).
  • 🎯 More precise control (mouse + keyboard or gamepads).
  • 🔄 Ability to save progress in the cloud.

Disadvantages:

  • 🐢 Requires a powerful PC (from 4 CPU cores and 8 GB RAM).
  • 🔌 Takes up a lot of disk space (emulator + game ~5 GB).
⚠️ Attention: When using emulators do not save progress to the cloud from the mobile version - this can lead to save conflicts and data loss.

4. Alternative methods: screen mirroring and cloud gaming

If none of the previous methods are suitable, you can try mirroring. screen on a second device or use cloud services. This method is more difficult to set up, but allows two people to play even on weak devices.

Option 1: Mirroring via Parsec or Moonlight

  • 🔗 Connect both smartphones to the same Wi-Fi network.
  • 🎮 Launch Super Bunny Man on the PC in co-op mode.

  1. Register in Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (if the game is available there).
  2. Open xbox.com/play on Android via a browser Chrome.
  3. Connect the gamepad to the phone and select the game.
  4. Activate co-op through the game menu.

    • 🎮 Profile 1: joystick on the left, buttons on the right (for player 1).
    • 🎮 Profile 2: joystick on the right, buttons on the left (for player 2).
  • Assign each profile a different area of the screen (for example, player 1 controls the left half, player 2 - right).

    • Disadvantages of this method:

    • 👆 Fingers will cover part of the screen.
    • 🔄 Accidental presses are possible.
    • 🐢 Delays when pressing buttons simultaneously.
    How to reduce lag in Octopus?

    • 👥 Reduce the number of NPCs on the screen (Settings → Gameplay → Crowd Density: Low).

    If the game is still slow, try closing all background processes using the application Greenify or reboot the device before the session.

    💡

    On devices with a processor Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and higher, the co-op works smoothly even at high graphics settings. On budget chips (for example, Helio G85) it is recommended to play with lower ones. settings.

    7. Frequent problems and their solutions

    When setting up a cooperative in Super Bunny Man users encounter typical errors. Here are the most common ones and how to fix them:

    Problem Possible cause Solution
    The second gamepad does not connect Bluetooth device conflict Disable all unnecessary Bluetooth gadgets (headphones, fitness bracelets)
    The game crashes when starting co-op Lack of RAM Close background applications or restart the device
    Control of the second player does not work Incorrect settings in Octopus/BlueStacks Recreate the control profile for the second player
    Split screen does not turn on The game does not support split screen on Android Use an emulator or mirroring (see section 4)

    If none of the solutions helped, check:

    • 📱 Compatibility of your device with the game (minimum requirements: Android 7.0+, 3 GB RAM).
    • 🔄 Game and operating system updates.
    • 📧 Error logs in Settings → System → Error log (on some firmware).
    ⚠️ Attention: On devices with custom firmware (for example, LineageOS), co-op may be unstable due to the lack of official drivers for gamepads.
    Can two people play on the same phone without gamepads?

    Why do items or enemies disappear in co-op?

    This is a synchronization bug that occurs when the processor is weak or there is insufficient RAM. Try reducing graphics settings or closing background applications. If the problem persists, play through the emulator on a PC.

    How to save progress in co-op?

    In official mode, progress is saved automatically for both players. If you use an emulator, save the data to the cloud BlueStacks or manually copy save files from the folder /Android/data/com.DTGames.SuperBunnyMan/files.

    Is it possible to play over the network (online co-op)?

    No, Super Bunny Man On Android it supports only local co-op. For online play, you will have to use the PC version or emulators with modules like Parsec.

    Which gamepads are best suited for the game?

    Recommended models:

    • Xbox Series X Controller (best compatibility).
    • DualShock 4 (requires manual connection in mode "Pro Controller").
    • 8BitDo Pro 2 (budget option with low latency).
    • Razer Kishi Mobile (for phones with USB-C).

    Avoid cheap no-name gamepads - they often have problems with joystick calibration.
