Frankenpets
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Frankenpets is a two-player co-op puzzle game where a pet navigates its owner’s house to complete mischievous activities. But, there’s a catch: the players are controlling opposite halves of the Frankenpet.
Frankenpets started as a project made for a University of Toronto x OCADU course in Winter 2025. It appeared at the Level Up Showcase 2025 and won 3rd in People's Choice among 150+ student-created games!

Install instructions
MAC USERS:
- Under our "Download" section, download "Level Up Mac Build"
- Unzip the downloaded folder
- If the game cannot open after clicking it, follow the next steps
- Right-click on the application and select "Show Package Contents" (this is usually the second listed option)
- Click into the "Contents" folder
- Click into the "MacOS" folder
- Copy the executable file (i.e., the only file seen in /MacOS)
- Open the terminal
- Type "chmod +x " into the terminal, and then paste the executable file that you copied from Step 7 (alternatively, you can drag the executable file into the terminal after typing "chmod +x ")*. Press the "Return" key to enter the command.
- Like in step 3, click the game. You will see a message that says "Frankenpets_Alpha_Mac can't be opened." Press "Ok".
- Open your "System Settings" and click on "Privacy & Security".
- You will see a message similar to "Frankenpets was blocked from use". Click "Open anyway". (You may need to scroll down the Privacy & Security page to see this message.)
- Click on the game again. You might get a pop-up saying that the game can't be checked for malicious software. Just click "Open", and you should now be able to play. Have fun!
*Here is an example of what your terminal might look like after finishing Step 9:
Timbits-MBP-2% chmod +x /Users/Timbit/Downloads/Frankenpets_Alpha_Mac.app/Contents/MacOS/Frankenpets Timbits-MBP-2%
