The Final Hours of Power of Two
Power of Two was conceived as a debut duet project: very simple, short, and fun. As the first step on the long road. Now we think we've achieved everything ever wanted from it with the main aim to ensure: We can create something valuable (playable) together! So it's the best time

Remain consistent, become various
Hopefully, we've added a lot to your game experience.
General

Singleplayer! Now you can play alone, and that experience differs a lot from Cooperative.
New Rule System: unlock all kinds of game modifiers by completing levels and see how they can change your gameplay: from "Noir Mode" to "Shooter Mode." Please keep in mind that it is the first iteration of this feature, unfinished and raw. We need your feedback.
Game mode switching: Zen Mode for calm and meditative gameplay, True Mode for fun and dynamic. Zen Mode is enabled by default.
Bugs

Small bugs fixed here and there.
Visual&Interface enhancements

New game menu one more (and not the last) time.
New "Choose a Player"-screen.
Levels

Narrative pieces deleted from all levels. They were superfluous. We will make something better.
Existing level polishing.
Development

Rule System is easily expandable.
Next steps

Polish everything
Polish one more time
Polish until all feels good
See you later!

Happy New Year!
First of all, New Year Wishes. Let us wish you all... All! Have a nice life, make decisions, find what you need and what you don't know you need. Second of all, about our current development status. We are currently working on a system that allows us to change gameplay in a clear

General

All enemies are now 4 (four!) times faster. That changes... Everything. For those of you who don't like such kind of challenge, we've added the button "Zen mode" in Main Menu.
Narrative conception is undergoing a rebirth. It's quirky, but it feels fun, and we see potential in it.
The whole game is back on English.
Bugs

Dash is now working correctly with gamepad movement.
Visual enhancements

New game menu!
The very first in-game character...
Levels

Little narrative moments here and there. Nothing serious, but we'll work in that direction.
Existing levels adaptation for the new "hardcore" gameplay model.
Development

New checkpoint system for easier gameplay manipulation.
Next steps

Development of the narrative. We are going to make it fun, at least.
Searching for new fun experiences within the existing structure.
UI, bug fixing, etc.
See you later!
Always yours,

We are happy to announce that the game is now available for everyone! Grab your friend, play together, and tell us about your experience.
That is clearly an important step, but still only one of many forthcoming.
Many evenings will we spend fixing bugs and polishing existing content.
But our next big step is to focus on gameplay diversity, starting from strengthening the cooperative experience. That is exactly where you can play the most important role, both with your feedback and ideas.

New level mechanics?
Quirky enemy types?
Mindblowing player abilities?
Cool, go on, and talk about it! We don't propose friendship to you, but instead even more - creative collaboration.
So, why not to try?
Hold tight your friend in one hand and mouse or gamepad in another, and find out where this path will lead us!
Always yours,
Power of Two team
