LudumData

The Twins by Kojan

[raw]
made by Kojan for LD30 (JAM)
Hello everyone !
We are a little proud to introduce you our first Ludum Dare game ! We are two young boys (17 and 16) who did this for fun and to test our knowledge in C++ and in the graphic library we used : SFML.
It took us around 30 hours combined and it was hella fun !

I hope you enjoy playing our game, it is meant to be quick and fun. However it requires a LOT of coordinations and might be hard to play on your first game. But do not give up and try again !!!

The last screenshot is the "How to play" screen, and this with the screenshots should be pretty explicit on the game features and the gameplay

If you liked our game and you've tried your best to achieve a great score, let us know what's your best score in the comments :)

Have fun, thank you in advance for testing our game, rating it and giving us critism !

1400 points. I liked the game, lot of fun, it is a mess even with only three buttons. Well done!!

The A and D controls aren't very intuitive, perhaps W and S( or Up and Down arrow) would have been better to play with. Anyway, it's a hard game, but I dig it.

Nice idea, really hard to get the controls controlled.

Nice idea, after a while the controls were ok, but as one of my precursor said, not quite intuitive. I really like the background music, and the graphics, except for the player, which looks really strange, but that makes it also a bit funny.

The music is good.
Really hard sidescroller.
This side switching is really confusing expescially when pressured for time!

I was failing very hard, but it is awesome. I think you could make an android/ios port and monetize it.

That was a lot harder than I'd have thought :)

I got 1300 points, I gave up in the end, I'm not great with having to do two things at once XD but a great little game, well done!

Very cool game.
Alone its quite hard. With a second player its a bit easier but not less fun. ;)
I also really like the music.

This was pretty fun, maybe a bit too difficult. Maybe using a different control scheme would have worked better, I keep thinking of space to jump so kept switching characters instead. Got only 1200 :(

Good job!

Great, simple concept. But a bit challenging.

Congratulations on your first LD game, and for finishing it in time! :D Trying to coordinate both characters really confused me, so I could only score 900. I really like the music, too. Good job!

Tricky game, the choice of keys could be better.
I think it would be helpful if the characters had different designs, I kept forgetting which was which.
I got to 2400

Something I found is that I always try to jump with space.

This was an interesting concept. :). Fresh idea. But all that switch hurt my brain. Awesome stuff!!

It's weird, you are the only one who got this error, did you try with the .exe or the setup ?
You can just try the other maybe

A really solid core, if kinda fiddly to play. It feels a bit unfair that you die even if you touch the top of the box, but such is the nature of twitchy action games, I guess.

Great game!

It took some time for me to get a handle with the controls.
A lot of coordination involved, but at least there are times where I can both duck and jump simultaneously. I prefer different keys than the one already in the game to get a better sense of control because I often press the wrong key.
Great game overall!

Neat game. It definitely starts getting tricky when the obstacles begin showing up out of synch with each other. :)
I like the epic string ostinato. :D
