Specularity
A downloadable game for Windows
WARNING: Controller is required to play. The game has no audio implementation to date
🌌 The Game
“Specularity” is a 2D top-down shooter game where the player controls 2 characters that move, act and shoot in specular opposite ways at all times, making for a convoluted and confusing yet elegant experience.
The concept was created for the Game Design 3 Course at Howest DAE and the prompt was "One enemy only" and "Keep it alive".
🌌 Story
“Souls wander across this dimension, hoping to find a way out, seeking a means to finally exist in the real world.
By wandering around looking for a way out of this limbo, another lost soul found itself chained to your image.
A reciprocal link influences your twin fates, and it’s up to you to save both to achieve existence.”
🎮 Controls
The game is playable only with Controller.
- R1 / Right Bumper : shoot
- Left Stick: move
- Right Stick: Aim

I like how the symmetry point moves in later levels, makes it really interesting how the movement of your clone is affected.
Nice concept, good job!
