Rising Together: Nayyar & Riab
A 2D co-op action-adventure where two rivals trapped in a hostile Abyss have to work together to escape. Coming soon to Steam from TWW Studios, where I lead the development team.
Summary
Rising Together: Nayyar & Riab is a 2D co-op action-adventure for two players. Nayyar and Riab are rivals who see the world from opposite points of view, and they end up trapped together in a hostile Abyss. The only way out is to cooperate: getting through traversal challenges, solving puzzles and beating bosses with powers that belong to each hero, plus combined powers they can only use as a pair. It supports online co-op and split-screen, and it is coming soon to Steam.
The Game
Two Rivals, One Way Out
Nayyar and Riab see the world from opposite points of view. Trapped in the same hostile Abyss, neither of them gets out alone, so the rivalry becomes the reason to cooperate.
Solo and Combined Powers
Each hero has a power system of their own, and there are combined powers the two can only use together.
Traversal, Puzzles, Bosses
A story-driven adventure through the Abyss, mixing traversal challenges, puzzles and boss fights, playable in online co-op or split-screen.
