In a fresh twist on the puzzle genre, the indie game Ambidextro allows players to simultaneously control two characters, each representing a wizard. This creative approach turns traditional single-player gameplay into what the developers call a ‘multiplayer game for a single player.’

Overview

The game tasks players with guiding both a prince and a princess through dangerous labyrinths and treacherous puzzle rooms. Players must navigate the challenges while ensuring they reunite their characters within a limited timeframe across 100 levels.

Game Mechanics

Unlike many puzzle games where the player controls a singular character, Ambidextro promotes multitasking in a unique manner. Similar to the mechanics found in games like Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, you control one wizard with each hand, enhancing the challenge and excitement of the gameplay. The art style pays homage to 8-bit aesthetics, providing a nostalgic feel to both veteran and new players alike.

Ambidextro can currently be found on Steam for $7.99, offering an engaging experience for those looking to challenge their skills in innovative ways.
