The Elastic Duo

Created for the 2021 GMTK Game Jam.

Info

Work together to make it through the rooms!

You and your partner are connected by a strong piece of elastic.

Although inconvenient, this can also help with completing levels.

Your character can be moved about as normal.

They can also crouch down to force their wait into the ground and resist being moved.

Controls

Player 1 Move : WASD / Left Stick

Player 1 Crouch : Left Shift / Space / Left Trigger

Player 2 Move : Arrows / Right Stick

Player 2 Crouch : Right Shift / Enter / Right Trigger

If you're stuck on a room you can hold Q to move on. If you're playing solo the game can still be completed even if it is difficult to control two characters at once.
