Description

'what do we do' is a minimalist asymmetrical coop platformer with typography elements, made in Unity engine. It features the letters 'd' and 'o' as its characters.

Each of these two characters have a different set of abilities that the other one lacks or is weak in. 'o' runs faster and jumps higher, while 'd' has the ability to crouch and squeeze himself to go under narrow spaces and also can give 'o' a boost to jump higher. The game is about word puzzles that the player[s] has to trigger and solve with the help of these two letters; as there are unfinished words with different functionalities that the player has to fill with either 'd' or 'o' to form a complete and meaningful word to advance in the game. The other important mechanic is the hidden platforms and words in shadows and lights; by switching the lights on and off, the player can find these elements.
