About The Black And White
A platformer where the pair is the mechanic. Each hero can do something the other cannot, so a room that looks impassable is usually asking which of the two should be standing where. Portals link the parts of the world you cannot walk between.
The puzzles want thought rather than reflexes, and the answer is normally an order of operations rather than a jump you have to nail. The pair are trying to get home, and the art carries most of the storytelling. It runs at 800 by 600 on a phone or a desktop.
How to play
- Move each hero through the level.
- Work out which of the two abilities a room needs.
- Use the portals to reach the parts you cannot walk to.
- Get both heroes through and on towards home.

Tips
- Move the hero you are not using first. Half these puzzles are about where the other one is standing.
- If a room looks impossible, you have probably brought the wrong hero to it. Swap before you try again.
