Together

Game Overview

Together is a 2D pixel-art platformer where you control two characters at the same time using a single set of controls.

Every movement affects both characters. When you press jump, both characters jump. When you move, both characters move. The challenge comes from figuring out how to use this shared control system to navigate obstacles, avoid traps, and bring the two characters together.

Each level ends with a heavy door that cannot be opened by one character alone. To progress, you must solve the level and position both characters close to each other so they can open the door together.

The core idea is simple:

Two characters. One set of controls. One way forward: Together.

Gameplay

The gameplay focuses on platforming, puzzle-solving, timing, and positioning.

Players will need to:

• Control both characters simultaneously.
• Navigate platforms and obstacles.
• Avoid traps and environmental hazards.
• Figure out how to separate, move, and reunite the characters.
• Use the level layout to solve each challenge.
• Bring both characters together at the right place to open the exit door.

There is no traditional separate control scheme for each character. The challenge is learning how to make one action work for two characters, even when the level puts them in different situations.

Worlds

Together features three different worlds, with each world introducing its own visual style, level design, platforms, traps, and environmental challenges.

World 1

The first world introduces the core mechanics and teaches the player how to think about controlling two characters at once.

It focuses on:

• Basic platforming
• Simple environmental obstacles
• Introduction to the shared-control mechanic
• Learning how to position both characters together

World 2

The second world expands on the main idea with more complex level layouts and new hazards.

It introduces:

• More challenging platform sections
• New types of traps
• More demanding timing and positioning
• Situations where the two characters must take different paths before meeting again

World 3

The third world pushes the core mechanic further with its own visual identity, unique hazards, and more difficult platforming challenges.

It focuses on:

• More advanced level design
• More difficult traps and obstacles
• Precise movement and timing
• Combining multiple mechanics to reach the final door

What Makes Together Different?

Together is built around a simple but unusual control concept: one player controls two characters simultaneously.

Traditional platformers usually ask the player to focus on one character. Together turns that idea into the main puzzle mechanic.

A jump is no longer just a jump. Every movement has consequences for both characters, and players must constantly think about where each character will end up.

This creates situations where the player may need to:

• Move one character into position while managing the other.
• Use platforms and level geometry to control both characters indirectly.
• Avoid obstacles that affect one character differently from the other.
• Find a route that eventually brings both characters back together.

Game Feel

Together aims for a simple, readable, and fun 2D platforming experience with a pixel-art visual style.

The game is designed around the satisfaction of:

1. Seeing a difficult level.
2. Understanding how the two characters need to move.
3. Experimenting with different approaches.
4. Successfully bringing them together.
5. Opening the door and moving on to the next challenge.

Target Audience

Together is designed for players who enjoy:

• 2D platformers
• Puzzle-platformers
• Pixel-art games
• Casual but challenging games
• Short, replayable levels
• Games built around unique mechanics
