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.\r\nIt took us around 30 hours combined and it was hella fun !\r\n\r\nI 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 !!!\r\n\r\nThe last screenshot is the \"How to play\" screen, and this with the screenshots should be pretty explicit on the game features and the gameplay\r\n\r\nIf 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 :)\r\n\r\nHave fun, thank you in advance for testing our game, rating it and giving us critism !","title":"The Twins"}
