Blindside

Blindside is an offline 2-player co-op platformer game, meaning each player will play on separate devices: no screen peeking! While no internet connection is required, players will need some way to communicate with each other.

Blindside is a game where players must explore the challenges of communication in order to guide their partner through partially visible levels. Players are given the same layouts for each level but can only see one-half of it: what is invisible to one player is visible to the other, and vice-versa. In order to progress, both players must complete the level by figuring out effective communication strategies to guide the other through their “blindsides.”

This game was made over the course of a semester for a class at the University of Utah called "Alternative Game Development."
