Lost Twins 2 is a co-op puzzler that challenges you to reunite siblings

Pocket Gamer RSS Feed3 min read(about 1 month ago)

Overview & Key Takeaways

Now, I'm not sure why so many games focus on siblings needing to rescue each other. If my sister and I had managed to lose the other inside a vortex to another world, we'd probably just have their share of the ice cream and call it a day. But Lost Twins 2 is for those of you with a more positive sibling relationship to call on. You play as Abi and/or Ben, a pair of siblings who've been lost across different, fantastical worlds and need to find their way back home. You'll control both at the same time, platforming around strange environments and solving puzzles to reunite the pair. ... [MORE]

  • Reunite siblings in Lost Twins 2 with puzzle platforming
  • Explore, solve tricky problems and control both siblings at once
  • Move the world around you to access new areas

Now, I'm not sure why so many games focus on siblings needing to rescue each other. If my sister and I had managed to lose the other inside a vortex to another world, we'd probably just have their share of the ice cream and call it a day. But Lost Twins 2 is for those of you with a more positive sibling relationship to call on.

You play as Abi and/or Ben, a pair of siblings who've been lost across different, fantastical worlds and need to find their way back home. You'll control both at the same time, platforming around strange environments and solving puzzles to reunite the pair.

Sibling rivalry

But one of the more interesting mechanics here is to shift the environment around you. Since you'll often not be on the same screen as your sibling, you can move different areas and connect them in different ways, letting you access new areas you'd otherwise be unable to reach.

Overall, it's quite a straightforward concept for a game, but it has enough in the way of interesting ideas to make it stand out. I think the only thing that's missing is perhaps some kind of co-op mode to take advantage of the dual character format.

But at the same time, managing to make two characters work is difficult enough. So I don't blame developer Playdew for sticking with a mostly single-player format. You can jump into Lost Twins 2 right now on iOS and Android and see if you've got the puzzling chops to bring our intrepid pair back together!

SoulTerra Odyssey sees Bandai Namco take a crack at colourful, roguelike, match-three action

Over the weekend, a trailer for a new release caught my eye. With colourful match-three gameplay and some obvious RPG elements, I was curious why I hadn't heard of it before. Imagine my surprise upon finding out that SoulTerra Odyssey had just hit soft launch for Australia, the Philippines, New Zeland and the UK, and from none other than Bandai Namco. SoulTerra Odyssey pitches itself as a distinctive blend of match-three puzzle gameplay, roguelite upgrades and RPG battles as you explore a colourful cartoon world with just a hint of grit to it.

That’s My Balloon! turns balloon popping into an iOS score chase📱 Mobile

That’s My Balloon! turns balloon popping into an iOS score chase

It seems that today has been given over to arcade releases. Frutz had me dodging missiles earlier, and now That’s My Balloon! wants me to spend the evening popping balloons. At least this one does not expect me to inflate them first. Out now on iOS, That’s My Balloon! is a one-tap arcade release built around spotting balloons and bursting them before they float off the screen. You will also need to avoid dangerous surprises that drift across the screen. As rounds continue, balloons become harder to catch, and those hazards start making the one-tap controls considerably less relaxing. ...

Frutz sends you through five arcade worlds in pursuit of perfect runs

It's a brand new week - for some people, that means easing into it, but for others, it means chasing perfect grades while a screen fills with missiles. Frutz has arrived at a useful time. Out now on iOS and Android, Frutz is a retro-inspired side-scrolling arcade shooter that takes you through five cosmic worlds. Lord Zorkannan has handed the five Cosmic Gems to his strongest guardians, which is inconvenient, so you will need to defeat each one before meeting him in the Cosmic Rift. Until then, his guardians are busy filling every planet with enemies and hazards. ... MORE(https://www.pocketgamer.com/frutz/official-launch/)
