Side by Side is a video series on local multiplayer games. This is the sixth series, episode 9 of 13.
Joel Goodwin of Electron Dance and Gregg Burnell of Tap-Repeatedly are taking no bull in co-op puzzler DYO (Team DYO, 2018) which reinvents the meaning of split screen. Two players are able to glue their views together to help them get to the exit – but separately. We don’t know if we are able to explain it properly. You will just have to come and see.

The look of concentration on both your faces during gameplay tells me exactly what this game would do to my mind. What a clever mechanic, though, and such a great way to use splitscreen!
Puzzle design of this nature also scrambles my brain. The ability to envision and then execute increasingly challenging levels based around a mechanic like this is a skill in itself.
Sorry for leaving your comment lonely and unresponded for the last three days. Please be assured it was read and discussed by the Electron Dance minions 🙂
I’d like to finish DYO with Gregg but not sure when it will ever happen :S
