Bob & Joe
In this 2D puzzle platformer Bob and Joe try to reach the stars by traversing their dangerous environment. Their only help, their ability to scale! Bob can scale the X-axis and Joe the Y-axis, creating interesting and challenging puzzles. This game is originally intended for two players who can play together on one keyboard, but for those who like an extra challenge, try controlling both characters at once and getting all the blue stars!
Controls
Bob (green):
Movement = Arrow keys
Scaling down = Right Shift
Scaling up = Right Ctrl or Enter
Joe (Orange):
Movement = WASD
Scaling down = Q
Scaling up = E
During levels you can press " P", "Esc" , or " Tap" to pause.
This game was made for the 2024 GMTK Game Jam which theme was "built to scale". We hope this game fits the expectations and the theme and want to say we have learned a lot. We made this game with 3 people, two of which had never made a game before and one game development university student.
