Good, but not great

Pretty great.

I liked the concept, but unfortunately at this moment I cannot suggest anyone buy this game!

The controls, though should be extremely simply, are aweful!

Jumping is completely random because it would seem that the character gets stuck against objects. This means that often one twin jumps and the other does not. There would seem to be something very flawed with the hitboxes.

I get that the game should be challenging, but this is ridiculously frustrating and makes it unplayable.



DISCLAIMER: These are my opinions about the experience I had playing this game. I share them in hopes that people who are like minded will either enjoy a suggested game, or avoid frustration wasting time and money on something I felt was a personal waste. Please feel free to comment positively, but know that anything that trolls or is just simply negative comments will be quickly deleted. The reality is, that my reviews are for people who do not own the game, not to initiate philosophical dialogue about it. If you are passionate about this game, please feel free to share that in your own review.

Twin Bros has this old school 8-bit style graphics that in someway takes you back to the old days. It is a puzzle platformer where you control 2 brothers at the same time. It is rather difficult at times but also fun. Some puzzles can be solved using different techniques (as far as I can tell). The puzzles include jumping from platforms to platforms, dodging turrets, passing through what seems to be electric fences, avoiding traps that disables the twins, and more.
The goal in each level is to allow the twins to enter a door at the same time which means you have to time everything so that they end up together. Take note that every puzzle has this time limit in the form of the twin's health bar that decreases over time or when you are damaged by electricity, turrets, etc.

Controlling the brothers is simple, W/Space/Up for jumping and A,D/Left,Right for moving sideways. When you move one of the brother the other also moves but the other one moves invertedly in respect to the other.

The music for the game fits the puzzle aspect of the game and also captures the challenge.

The game's presentation is good in my book.

The only draw back in this game is that sometimes when I press jump, the other brother doesn't jump or they both don't jump. This kinda messes things up especially when the game has a sort of time limit. Also, sometimes it feels like its becoming repetitive but after a few levels that feeling will be gone and in exchange becomes frustration due to not being able to finish a level but that is part of the charisma of a puzzle game.

In conclusion, The game is well made with only a few draw back (not even sure if it is a flaw or I just don't understand the mechanics that well yet.) For the price though, I think it could be lower so that more players can be enticed by the game but not too low though because the game is great and the developers deserve some kind of reward.

So In a scale of 1-5, I'll give TWIN BROS a 3/5.

Good, but not great

The game is great and all the problems have been fixed.

You should definitely give it a try.

Also, the developer is great, he fixed all the problems within 3-4 days. Not many do this nowadays, it would be nice showing him some support ;).

a very different concept in a good way!!....controlling two players at the same time makes it difficult and confusing.....bt challenging!! good stuff!!
