Two Friends One Keyboard

2 Player Split Screen Co-op

"Two Friends One Keyboard" is a simple platform game intended to be experienced alongside a friend via local split screen. Connect with a buddy and work together to complete levels before the time expires.

To complete a level, both players must be standing on the 2 pressure plates at the same time to open the exit. Once the exit has opened, you must reach it before the time runs out. Collect fruit to increase your time. Jump on enemies to defeat them.

"Two Friends One Keyboard" utilises platforming mechanics such as coyote time, jump buffer and variable jump height. The combination of these mechanics adds to the overall feel for the game improving the user experience.

Coyote Time: 

If walking off an edge, there is a split second where you can still jump mid-air.

Jump Buffer:

If you press the jump key a split second before you hit the ground, it will still register as a jump. The key press will be remembered so that when you land on the ground, the jump will be performed.

Variable Jump Height: 

The longer you hold the jump key, the higher you jump.  Development
