::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Frank & Stein are linked by a common organ, so they have to stay together. You will have to lead those two... "heroes"... through the 8 short levels of the lab, controlling both of them at the same time, forcing cooperation in traps and combat to make it to the end.

Please try the game ! I'm always looking for suggestions and advice.

-8 LEVELS
-1 BOSS

I used Construct 2 to build the game, with Paint & Photofiltre as graphic tools plus FL studio and Audacity for sound design and music composing. I had such a great time.

this is unbelievably well done.I can't imagine how something this good can be done in 48h.
Graphics, sounds, music, gameplay everything is amazing!
It is a perfection.
I thought at first it was a jam game.

Wow, gorgeous game.
Kinda frustrating, because you die a lot.
Really great work!

This would be a good game if it wasn't made in 48 hours! The only thing I can fault is the text (the anti-aliasing doesn't fit the game) but that's if I'm being really picky! My favourite entry so far!

Very Nice one, the scene is just a bit too dark for me but nice concept

Very good!
CMG14 Dec 2015, 18:22
Clever and gruesome. I always like when the puzzle mechanics are tied into the story!
nonetheless14 Dec 2015, 18:54
Great idea and execution. Lovely and rich graphics, very nice sounds, interesting gameplay and all is kinda funny. complete entry, very impressing :)

Amazing game. Although a bit too difficult and unforgiving for my taste.

@sathorn
Totally agree ahah, I wish difficulty was more progressive, but I had to make it harsh on early stages coz I didn't have time to make a lot of levels. Since it had to be short, I wanted it intense.

Creepy. Cool though! I do believe this is the most innovative compo game I've seen.

OMG! I love this game! it combined the two themes nicely, had challenging difficulty and also be polished.

And the creepy horror mood, the brutal ending, it's seldom to see this sorta game here, and this is really good!

Just a random guess, is the game screen supposed to be scaled 2 or 3 times? it's a little small in my option.

Thank you, it is nice to read such a detailled review. About the title screen, I am not sure. I didnt have the chance to try it on many machine. Some weird stuff might happen especially on the web version.

Great atmosphere! ..and the music isn't toxic as mine.. ^^

Way wicked! Total package game! Last boss was a bit easy but thats the only thing i can say at all! Awesome game!
Blake_Lead21 Dec 2015, 23:59
Awesome game ! Love the art, love the music. And the gameplay is genius. Parfait !
adsilcott23 Dec 2015, 23:16
Well that was amazing. Totally original, great looking, and fun. It even has a boss and an ending. Awesome!
blackmagic24 Dec 2015, 13:39
Best entry so far, all 5. The game is a bit long and sometime injust with its checkpoints but it has wits and boy it is fun and refreshing. Best game of LD34 for me.

This is pretty well made. Everything fits together nicely. That text to speech was pretty creepy though.
Jod25 Dec 2015, 10:08
Supercool! That is a a lovely way to control two characters. And the art, music and sound effects are well done.

I love the little details as well: bullets ricochet on walls, the exit button crumbling... well done!

I'll be very surprised if this doesn't get in at least the top ten of one category. Excellent music, original concept, really funny writing (several of Frank's lines made me laugh out loud). The graphics are amazing, and the puzzles are innovative and fresh. It got quite hard, but the levels are short enough that replaying isn't much of a hassle.

If the game has any weaknesses, it's that the theme isn't that strongly connected to the gameplay (it's definitely there, but it's not central). Also, the ending is a bit weak compared to the game itself, but that's minor.

Strongly recommended to everyone who isn't squicked out by the plot.

Smooth graphics and amazing audio, keep working on it.

Loved the idea of the two characters conected and the levels are great!

Well done!

I can't get past the first thing on the second level. I manage to get only one character through the blasting killing thing. Am I missing something?
maksibonus6 Jan 2016, 10:19
Awesome game! Sound, gameplay on the highest level.
