In search of a 2D coop game

I dunno if this is the best place to post this, but here goes:
Well, here's the thing: my girlfriend is spending a couple months abroad for work-related issues. Since being apart for so long is kind of a downer, we decided we'd at least spend some time gaming together, so as to keep in touch, as much as that will allow us.
Now, we've never been much of a gaming couple, so we really don't know what games would be enjoyable to play together. Since it's for a couple months only, subscription MMO's are out the window inmediately. Worse, she's got a bit of a condition that prevents her from playing any 3D game for more than a couple minutes without getting really dizzy and light-headed, so those are out too.
Also, she usually destroys me when it comes to platformers and action games, so I'm guessing it wouldn't be very enjoyable for her to play a game where she has to drag my useless ass along the way. Oh, another consideration: she'll only have her laptop there, and both our laptops are not exactly state of the art, so go easy on the system reqs (although being 2D that should be more or less granted)
With that in mind, what 2D PC co-op games do you reccomend? Of those, any particularly suited for short sessions? We only have a lot of free time during weekends, so getting a half hour of play during an idle spell and feeling like we made some progress is certainly a plus.
