Toybox Heroes is
an original game developed by a core team of fifteen students over a
period of six months. It is built on Half-Life 2's Source SDK
Base.
The primary design requirement for this six-month
project was simulate a console-style multiplayer
experience. To this end, the game was designed to be playable on
a single
screen, support PlayStation 2 controllers, and consist of small
"vignette" levels.

supports LAN play for 2-4 players.

was specifically developed for use with PlayStation 2
controllers. In order to connect a PS2 controller to your

tested with other gamepad devices, but compatibility is not guaranteed.
Instructions for configuring Toybox Heroes for keyboard input
