Temple Dyad is a puzzle platformer I developed with a partner for the ICT Game Jam in January 2022. We were given the theme of Duality. I immediately thought of a web game I used to play called Fire Boy and Water Girl when the theme was revealed. The goal of Fire Boy and Water Girl is to use two characters with different powers to complete puzzles. I thought this would be a fun concept from which to take inspiration, and one that would be viable with the 48 hour time limit of this game jam.

​

We decided on having a large character that would push blocks to hold down buttons and a small character that could squeeze through vents and pick locks. The game is quite short with only 5 levels, but the decision to limit the length of the project provided the time I needed to create larger and more engaging puzzles.
