Gem Twins
Looking at families you could argue that there is no closer bond than that between siblings which is why so many adventure games are focused around them like Gem Twins. You're taking on the role of two twins who appear to be caught in a dimension consisting of multiple chambers that seemingly have no way out. Even though the twins are harmless, they're armed with their brains and ability to defy physics when needed. Unfortunately, they must work separately to make it out of these precarious scenarios. By fostering such teamwork, you may get to see them play together again.
About Gem Twins
Puzzle games employ a lot of mechanics and gimmicks to catch the eye including having two characters that interact with the world in different ways. This game here goes for an even simpler route by making the two characters identical. There are some visual differences but the bottom line is that they're both the same. This makes for an interesting dynamic where you have to make use of their limited properties to achieve the desired result. In a way, the only thing blocking your path to victory is if you don't think creatively about these two and experiment with their attributes.
How to Play
Gem Twins is a 2D platform puzzle game about twins completing levels using the keyboard.
Controls
- W/Up Arrow - Jump
- A/Left Arrow - Move Left
- D/Right Arrow - Move Right
- Spacebar/C - Switch Twins
This is a level-based game where the goal of each level is to collect all the corresponding collectibles in the level to complete it. Each collectible is color-coded to either twin meaning that only the matching twin can collect it. If you get stuck or miss an opportunity to set up a solution, you can always restart the level. It also comes with a Speedrun option if you want to time your completion.
When starting, both twins will spawn in designated areas in the level. You can only control one twin at a time and when the other twin is inactive, they have a chain on their body and are completely frozen in place. Like this, they become a solid object that can be used in tandem with the environment to navigate to the collectible. The twins can't interact with the environment in any way, they can only navigate through it.
Tips and Tricks
This puzzle game may have limited controls but the main mechanic of freezing twins is quite important. When inactive, a twin becomes frozen in space in time, even in the air. Examine the level closely for heights and gaps so that you can pinpoint where each twin needs to be for you to succeed.
