"Semispheres" puzzle game where the brain panicks by manipulating different characters with left and right hands

Puzzle games that won various awards such as winning in the Digital Alberta Awards gaming category where creative work gathers are "Semispheres"is. Semispheres has become a simple yet profound game of manipulating different characters appearing on one screen with left hand and right hand, so I actually had experienced it at the Tokyo Game Show 2016.

I came to the booth of Vivid Helix exhibiting Semispheres at Tokyo Game Show.


At the booth you can experience the demonstration play of Semispheres. Semispheres is a puzzle game where the screen is divided into left and right, and you manipulate the sphere on the left and the sphere on the right to bring it to the goal at the top of the screen.


Semispheres' feature is that it controls the left sphere with the left hand and the right sphere with the right hand at the same time.


As you can see from the image below, you can control the sphere on the left screen with the left stick and the sphere on the right with the right stick.


There is a stage where various traps are awaiting, rather than merely operating Sphere to make a goal, for example, the following stage has a sphere as if it is watching on the screen on the right. It will die if you enter the white fan-shaped area in front of the SPHIA, so you must do something about this.


When you push the button here, a sound like a beep sounds, and like a circle spreads around the sphere. This means that the sound was smoothed to lure the guard, so the guard sphere will come here to investigate.


Go through breaking through while the guards are lurking. This is somewhat similar to a system that lures enemies by hitting the wall with Metal Gear Solid.


At this stage, the lookout guard on the right screen is blocking the passageway again. Move the sphere on the left to the blue circle ......


I moved to the screen on the right. The left and right stages are exchanged only in the circle.


Move the right sphere and ring the sound ...


The guards moved. However, with this way the sphere on the right will be found in the guard.


Before the guards find the right sphere, this time, the sound is made with the left sphere in the circle of the orange.


Then the guards moved to the orange circle. In the meantime move the left and right spheres and let go. Although it may seem easy in the image, if you move the left and right sphere at the same time, your head gets caught up and saying "Which Sphere you tried to move now? It will come back! "Will be impatient.


I do not understand well if you explain with sentences, but you should be able to understand with one shot when you see the following play movie.

In DemoPlay, you can play an esoteric stage from the simple stage as described above. In an esoteric stage where teleports and sphere changes, etc. stop, stop playing and think with your head thinking that "move the right sphere and attract the attention of the guard and watch the guard of side watching while ..." , I realized the high degree of completion as a puzzle game.


Looking at Semispheres's official play movie, I think that you can see what the stage is like.

It is difficult to operate separate spheres with the left and right hands, but the pleasant feeling when it clears successfully is exceptional. Semispheres will be released in the second half of 2016 on Windows / Mac / Linux, PS 4, Xbox One.
