Semispheres
So near, yet so far.
A meditative 2D game where your job is to reunite two soul mates, controlling both of them at once! Kept apart by an impregnable "wall", you'll need plenty of wits, patience, and skill to solve the puzzles and overcome the traps left by your enemies on both sides of the screen at once. But when you're in love, you'll do anything to be together!

Some living beings just can't stand being apart. Others, meanwhile, turn the separation into an opportunity to test their logic and contemplation skills. And that's what is going on in Semispheres, a game that wants you to harness both sides of your brain at once!
More specifically: you will be playing two different experiences at the same time, by controlling two little blue and orange spheres. Separated by an ever-present central wall, they are desperately trying to get back together.
Why? How? That's for you to find out by using every ounce of your grey matter! The solution to this giant puzzle doubtless lies in the comic strips you find every five levels. And with more than 50 levels to explore, there's plenty of time to learn more about the bond of friendship that exists between this child and the little robot...
Semispheres is a 2D puzzle game developed by Canadian studio Vivid Elix Inc., and there's no other game like it. This twin stick puzzle game is eminently soothing and is a single-player split screen game with no timer and not even any score!
In terms of gameplay, it couldn't be more straightforward: you control the sphere on the left with the left joystick, and the sphere on the right with... you guessed it: the right joystick! It takes a little bit of getting used to, but once you do, any player can master the game. But after you've cleared the first few levels, you'll no longer be alone in this strange two-tone world!
There'll be enemies around to make your job harder. They are spheres, just like you, but their role is far more malicious. If you are unfortunate enough to pass through their field of view, you'll be sent straight back to your last save point. And that's all there is to it.
As you explore this gigantic asymmetrical labyrinth, you'll sometimes be able to communicate between the two worlds. If you hit a snag, this "call" can split the other screen and help your twin to make it past their enemies! If only you could get just that little but closer...
This is a peaceful game that will let you train both sides of your brain, and all while having fun.
