There's a similar question to this in this discussion, but my question is focused on the usage of 'as well as'.
There was someone on Facebook seemed to agree with my opinion/condition and he said as well as me. I sense this saying sounds awkward. I mean, he could say me too instead. Is it OK to use 'as well as' that way?
The context that Old Brixtonian has requested:
A: I can't open this game. What's the problem?
B: As well as me. I hope they will fix the game.

Firstly...
If you had said, "I can open this game", he could have said, "Me too" or, even better, "So can I" or "Yes, I can too," because they are all positive, like "I can".
But "I can't" is negative and it needs a negative response. "Neither can I" would be perfect. Or "No, I can't either."
They need to match: positive to positive, negative to negative.
Secondly...
In "I can't open this game", I is the subject and game is the object. If your friend replies, "As well as me", me is the object. So it means "And you can't open me." That's why "Neither can I" or "No, I can't either" are better.
If someone says, "She hit him", him is the object. If you then say, "Me too" it means she also hit you. If you say, "So did I" it means you both hit him.
So. That's why I said (in my first sentence), ...or, even better, "So can I" or "Yes, I can too": me is always the object of the sentence.
Finally...
Those are the rules!! BUT - people do say, "Me too" where, grammatically, it should be "I too". If you ask children, "Who would like a sugary drink?" they will shout "Me!" It would be grammatically correct to shout "I would!", but in informal English it's a lost cause and most adults in the UK would do the same. (Especially this week if you offered them a can of petrol!)
