The Elastic Duo
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Created for the 2021 GMTK Game Jam. The theme was "Joined Together"
Info
Work together to make it through the rooms!
You and your partner are connected by a strong piece of elastic. When stretched, let go of movement to catapult yourself!
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.
