Ego and the Id by Joshua Allen

[raw]
made by Joshua Allen for Ludum Dare 49 (JAM)

Can you unite the divisions within yourself to overcome the physical manifestations of your horrors?

Intro.gif

Strengthen your resolve and control your split personalities in this "UNSTABLE" combat arena! Control your Ego, a shield-wielding behemoth capable of blocking any attack while simultaneously controlling your Id, a ruthless but eloquent sword-wielder capable of deflecting any attack.

This game uses a Mouse to interact with menus but ABSOLUTELY REQUIRES the use of a (PS4 or Xbox) gamepad/controller.

Dope concept, though I did have some difficulties getting the hang of controls.

Fun game! While I enjoyed the challenge of controlling both players at once, it was actually easier to just let one of them die and kill the boss with the other. I'd feel more encouraged to keep both of them alive if there was some interesting interplay between them, or even something as simple as a shared health bar. Regardless, I like the concept and enjoyed the game

I like the idea, I fear the simplicity of the single boss format limits it somewhat. That said, it works well for what it is.

Short and simple! Really difficult for my brain to wrap around the controls. Interesting concept.
