Brothers in Arms

Your rating: None Average: 3 (19 votes)

This is the story two jellyfish entangled in a love-hate relationship. Literally.

On their way to the surface, this entrapment makes it difficult to avoid crashes with rocks, evil coral and poisoned food. The jellyfish have to make joint decisions about their course and strategy under high pressure. Each going its own way will get them nowhere. To keep on moving, each jellyfish is also dependent on its own type of food, which intensifies the conflict.

On the upside, their entwined limbs also enable a fruitful collaboration. The comrades can drag each other out of toxic coral, and more: it enables them to fence in food by using their entangled tentacles as a net. They can enjoy their catch when they mate on a safe place.

This game is aimed at two online players, but the prototype is limited. It has no more then one level, and the two players use the same keyboard.
