Diversifiers and Credits

GGJ 2012 Diversifiers :

Asymmetry: (Every player is different) The game requires more than one player, but each player has entirely different goals and rules.

Collaborative Casual/Hardcore: (Two players: one casual, one hardcore) Collaborative play for two, but one player has more to do than the other (or the difficulty level is different between them).
