Linked is a 2 player local co op game, where the two players are linked with a string like attachment, and they  have to go through the platformer game by working together to overcome puzzles and obstacles in their path. The string like mechanic forces the players to come up with interesting ways to solve puzzles and to truly work together.
‍
The concept of the game started with the idea of making a co-op game that would force players to work together and not just tag along for the ride. As simple as one of our early ideas was of just literally connecting the players to each other, the game mechanic actually proved to be fun when we play-tested it. So I got back to the drawing board and fully fleshed out this idea, built levels around the challenges this mechanic would bring and discovered new mechanics that grew out of this like being able to swing a player from one platform to another, use the physics of the tension from being connected to clever climb up walls, use each other like a pendulum etc.

I worked on the art, assets and design of the game. Below are some assets used in the game and the level design/story board for the game. Unfortunately there are some issues with Unity right now, so I'm unable to have the game be playable or get screenshots from the game. Will update as soon as problem is resolved.
