Symbio

By: Ulf Benjaminsson

The game is a 2D two player coop jump puzzle game. The players play as animals trying to escape a flood by climbing up a tree. One player plays a night animal that can only see when they are inside the tree and the other plays a day animal that can only see when they are outside the tree. They need to guide each other through jump puzzles and obstacles when one of them can’t see.

The Swedish Game Industry Career Fair

Make: Magazine interviews 1st year student Eric Osana for Pump the Frog at 7:56.
Kotaku loved Totally Not a Game Studio’s “Grave Call“. It’s a fantastic 2-player game where […]
