Why did we make this game?

When we saw the theme "collaboration", the first thought each of us had was about the local coop game that we loved from our childhood.

We could not miss the chance to make a game of this genre.

We started by asking ourselves "what is the best way to make a collaborative local multiplayer game?" and one of the first ideas we had was to share and swap the controls of the same character with your teammate. 

Only the most coordinated and collaborative couples of players will be able to complete our game, as every team skill will be tested.
