Team up to navigate eerie challenges in Boyfiend & Ghoulfriend, a charmingly spooky puzzle platformer where your unique abilities are key.
About this game
Boyfiend can create fire and is immune to it, while Ghoulfriend can dig through dirt and is immune to poison.
When Boyfiend & Ghoulfriend are near each other, their basic abilities are altered. Analyze the situation to figure out if you should stick together, or if you need some time apart.
Discover more unique ways to use and master their abilities in order to solve more complex puzzles.
Jump, crouch, push objects, avoid hazards, and activate dynamic mechanisms to successfully traverse the levels.
Find all the key items to open the exits, gather collectibles, and complete challenges to earn medals required to unlock future stages. Each stage offers intricate challenges that must be overcome with wits, cooperation, and, most importantly, love!
Unique character abilities on top of fluid and responsive platformer controls
20+ hand-crafted stages across three environments with multiple puzzles to solve in each
Static level camera for analyzing the layout of each stage beforehand
Unique visual style which combines flat perspective with 3D environments
Supports shared keyboard control if you don't have multiple controllers, or if you happen to prefer playing solo (we hope that's not the case)
