My submission for the Lost Relic Games Game Jam 1 with the theme "Connection". The game can be played either solo (to test your coordination), or with a friend (to test your friendship communication skills).

The point of this game is for the two players to survive as long as possible, but with a twist: These two players are connected together by a beam! No matter how far apart you are, the beam will always connect the two of you.

Red and green cubes approach from the right side of the screen and go towards the left. If either player or the beam touches a red cube , you lose a life; but if you touch a green cube you earn points. If the red cube reach the left hand side, you earn points - but if a green cube reaches the left hand side, you lose a life as well. Simple: grab the greens, and avoid the reds!

As time goes on, the number of cubes that spawn each second will increase, as well as their speeds. How long can you survive?

This is my first ever game jam I'm participating in, and first ever 'game' I've created. I also have a full-time job, so I could not spend as much time on the project as I would have liked (about 20 hours or so); but at the very least, I wanted to participate in the game jam and say that I've made something!

Game was created in Unity.

Controls:
WASD: Controls the first (blue) player
