G.R.O.W.I.N.G by Grouflon

[raw]
made by Grouflon for LD34 (COMPO)
Grab a friend and help your Gigantic Reversible Ovoid With Incredible Natural Grip to coordinate his limbs and travel the world.

G.R.O.W.I.N.G is a 2 player cooperative game for mobile.
both players plays on the same device, one on each end.

Good Luck :3

Controls :
- the left button controls the arm rotation.
- the right button grips to the walls.

Installation :
Just go to the Android link from your mobile, the game will download and install automatically. Then you'll have to authorize softwares from unknown sources.

PS:
I highly recommend to play this on mobile, however you can also download the PC version.
PC Cotnrols:
- S/D : Rotate left arm
- F : Grab with left arm
- K/L : Rotate right arm
- J : Grab with right arm

Very challenging on a PC, but you did say it was meant for mobile, so well done ^_^

Played on mobile with a friend, very solid graphics, entertaining controls. Tough to get the hang of, there doesn't seem to be a noticeable correlation between the input and the direction that the legs move. Sound would have been nice. Like I said, great graphics, incredible entry. Well done!

Actually pretty good playable solo on my 1+ One. Can't wait to try it with a fried.
Graphics are a bit glitchy, some magenta stuff flickering outside the map, but apart from that, nice job!

Very intresring game. I know you wanted a monocrome game but it would have been really useful if the legs and buttons was in different colors so you knew where what button affects what leg all the time without trial and error.

Very nice entry ! Could be a cool QWOP-like. Didn't play it on mobile but it feels like the physics is not fully ready yet (also, i don't understand if the "stick" key is actually supposed to grip on nothing)

very interesting mechanic, took a little bit to get the hang of it, which is not a bad thing for this type of game, very fun and challenging, nice aesthetic too

Weird. Amazing physics and mechanics, but it's really to hard to play on a PC. I will test your project on a mobile device soon. Overall, a good entry ++

Tested this on my Android tablet on my own. Shame there's no sound but I liked the mechanics.

It was really good. Hard to understand what all the controls do and how to even use them... but after a while it became pretty intuitive. It has some glitches. Some sound would add a lot to this whole experience too :)
