Highest rating I have given sofar after about 30 games. Not cause there is nothing to be improved but cause overall it is just a very solid start. Kudo's for this shizzle.

This is bad, because purple is deadly to Orangites, and orange is deadly to Purplites. Two friends emerge from the chaos -- one orange, and one purple -- and they take it upon themselves to trigger a bomb that will once again separate their two worlds.\r\n\r\n____________________________________\r\nCONCEPT\r\nThis is an awkward-controls-meets-puzzle-platformer in which you, as a single player, must control and manage two characters on screen at once. Each hand controls the left-right movement of one character, and the jumping of the other.\r\n\r\nTo make matters even more interesting, the two characters can never touch the same things, because orange kills purple, and purple kills orange. They can't even touch each other!\r\n\r\nThe game contains only one level, as it is difficult enough to master that I wouldn't dare put anyone through a second one.
