Level 2 of the game

The second level increases the challenge with one new mechanic. The players should now get a grasp of how the game can force them to work together.

Level 3

The last level increases the difficulty again, this time with timing mechanics. The two players need to time when they need to move and alternate between worlds in order to get to the end and avoid all danger in their paths.

Guide:

This game is characterized by being a multiplayer puzzle platformer that is simple yet as gameplay depth built into the mechanics. The game consists of 2 characters namely Ice Cube and Boom Boom. As with the namesake Ice Cube is an ice based character while boom boom is a fire based character. Each of them have basic platformer movement of jump, horizontal movement, and gravitational pull. Cooperation is key in winning this game. Pressure plates are available so that a player must rely on the other to progress. 

 

What makes this game unique is each character has control over their own domain. Boom Boom can make the world into a fire based world while Ice Cube does the cold domain equivalent. The on screen properties of objects change depending on the world it is based in. obstacles come and go depending on world. Ice becomes water in fire world. A steam blower becomes a flamethrower. Steam blowers push both players a certain direction.  Balloons go up because of the heat in the fire world.

 

Lastly, the characters have their own unique properties that is important in making the game work. Vines are impenetrable by Ice Cube but the fiery Boom Boom burns it with fire. Water is lethal against Boom Boom but the Ice Cube can just go through it with relative ease. Flame from the flamethrower kills Ice Cube but Boom Boom can go through it with ease. Hazards like spikes are dangerous for the both of them.

 

Controls:

The controls for this game is simple as the player only controls 2 of the main characters. The controls can be seen in below:

Each character can move left, right, and jump with either the familiar wasd or arrow keys layout. For Ice Cube, he can change the surrounding world to the ice world using the “Q” key. Boom Boom, on the other hand, can change the surrounding to the hot fire world using “/?” key.
