Co-Op Swap by TehSkull

[raw]
made by TehSkull for LD30 (JAM)
This game requires 2 players to complete. And due to the limitations of most keyboards, will require at least 1 gamepad. The game was designed and tested with one player on keyboard + mouse, the other on a PS3 controller.

Please ensure that you configure the controls to your needs.

These fellows are in separate worlds that have become connected. But they themselves seem to be intertwined that they can swap places on a whim.

I'm pleased with the concept and the programming on this, mostly, but the level design is definitely lacking on my part, and I apologize. If there is interest for it, I'll make the game longer.

More versions coming soon. Stay tuned.

Tips:
Player 1 has high jumps (press and hold)
Player 2 has incredible air speed.

Swap places with Spacebar. (Or Triangle, as I have it on my controller)

Definitely innovative, I appreciate that. Certainly lacking in the level design department, but it wasn't a big deal. Overall, I really enjoyed the game. Check out mine too if you have the time for it. http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-30/?action=preview&uid=42403

Apologies, Toubib. I kinda slacked on this game. Two of the later challenges require the two players to work in sync, jumping and swapping at appropriate times to complete.

The graphics could use some polish, but they weren't bad. It was still fun to play! Good luck to you :)

little tip.
Screen.lockCursor = true; to lock the cursor
And use Physics Materials to Set bounciness and friction.(unless you coded it to increase speed after a jump)

Also, feel weird to have Q for jump and Space to swap characters... you also need to increase the deadzone for the axis of the controller, because of that, camera would always be constanly panning and the character would always be moving, Most PC games I play don't have this problem, so I'm assuming that 360 controllers are much more loose than PS3. Also, Standard Unity assets, a couple of custom models and textures would have been nice, even if low poly...

Other than that, the concept is pretty innovative and I bet would be fun with a friend.

Great concept. Make a video of you and a friend playing it -- it'll be a lot easier to share down the road.

Maybe you should explain a bit more what is the concept and objectives of the game, at least I could not find out to do but jump

Couldn't get too far as the gamepad controller I have caused it to spin forever. Still like what I managed to get through.

Hard to play solo. I liked the idea though

@vividhelix Believe me, I know. I had to playtest it solo. What a hassle.
