You can get a Steam key for the Amnesia collection (Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs & Amnesia: Dark Descent - worth £26.99) for free while stocks last via the Humble bundle HERE

MIND TWINS - The Twisted Co-op Platformer

Installation:

If you are one of the lucky winners of a Steam key the installation is via the Steam client. If you are not familiar with activating a Steam game, go to the top menu and select Games. From the drop-down menu select 'Activate a Product on Steam'. The game will then be available to install on any computer you install the Steam client on and sign in using your Steam account. If you're new to Steam, you can download the Steam client HERE and create a Steam account HERE. Once the key has been added to your account it will be permanently tied to that account and cannot be changed.

Introduction:

MIND TWINS is playable alone by controlling one character at the time but it is probably much more fun to play local co-op mode

You will discover more than 100 different levels, countless obstacles that will try to kill you and difficult puzzles that you and your friend will have to solve together, in this dark, puzzle-platformer with a twist.

You will be able to navigate the MIND TWINS bunnies through the levels by running, jumping, dodging and changing the gravity which will often open up a lot of possibilities to actually solve a puzzle. Furthermore, there are hidden achievements and traps all over the place and teleporters, deathly chain-saws and giant carnivorous plants are just some of the many difficulties that you will need to overcome!

The Game:

For those who won copies of Drunken Apes previous games Mind Shift (50 winners) and Mind Blox (10 winners) you’ll see some similarities via the graphic, with both the main menu and level selection screens looking virtually the same as their previous games. So too are many of the assets included with the earlier games; however, Mind Twins is a platformer rather than a position shifting game which both previous games were.

As platformers go, Mind Twins is okay. It’s not as challenging as platformers such as Super Meat Boy; but, as you progress through the levels, they do become more challenging. It's not a game aficionados of platform games are going to enthuse over, but with two characters to control, this is a great local co-op game to play with friends and family. A bonus is Mind Twins also comes with a level editor, so you can create as many extra levels as you wish. The editor is simple to use. The only downside in my opinion is that there are a limited number of assets you can use to make your levels, so they could become a little too similar the more you create. Pity there are not more block types or monsters etc. Although simple in design, I still think this is worth a thumb up. There are only three tasks to complete for a chance to win one of the keys. As more Steam users have become aware of the Steam giveaways, the entry number has increased significantly, so the chance of winning is much lower than when we first got Steam keys back in 2016, when the odds were often greater than 50% and sometimes approached 100% as the numbers entering were quite low. There will be a couple more Steam games coming over the next few days with a much better chance of winning a key. :)

Conclusion:

A simple platformer with an easy to use level creator, worth entering to hopefully win a key. Thumb up from me.
