Tick Tock: A Tale for Two by Other Tales Interactive
Tick Tock is a puzzle solving game in which each of the two players has a handful of clues that the other does not. We played Tick Tock on two opposite facing monitors, and we navigated similar yet asynchronous environments. If we were stuck, we had to speak out loud to figure out our bearings and solve the puzzles. The catch is that the environment itself is a bit surreal and dream-like as well, so we needed a bit of time to make sense of our surroundings and work together to figure out the clues.
Blabyrinth by Sleeping Beast Games
Blabyrinth is a procedurally generated co-op puzzle game experience for two to four players. We played on two tablets and navigated a grid-like dungeon in which we juggled items to light our surroundings and solve puzzles that allowed us to keep traversing the dungeon. Since each player can only carry two items, we frequently had to coordinate which objects to carry. The dungeons are labyrinths, but we could easily tell which objects we could interact with. We imagine the game has plenty of ways to keep players on their toes.
Many thanks to IndieCade for putting together another fun year full of unique projects and compelling craftsmanship!
