CarryPals
Ten is strong. One is small. Neither can cross alone. Two players share one keyboard: Bop is a bouncy bean worth one, Loaf is a soft heavy loaf worth ten. Doors want exact numbers, and at the trade machine ten ones squish into a ten only Loaf can carry. Five rooms, no falls, no timer. Ages 6–8, two players.

CarryPals is two friends of two sizes. Bop is small and bouncy and worth one; Loaf is big and slow and worth ten. Neither can open a door alone.
Bop
(Hero, a bouncy bean) - worth one, carries the ones and steps one at a time
Loaf
A soft heavy loaf - worth ten, lifts a ten that ten ones squish into, and leaps ten at a time
