Parallel 2 & Parallyzed
Parallel 2 is a single player platformer game I found and played on Y8.com (cause I'm running out of games) where the player controls three characters and guides them through an obstacle course so that all three characters can reach the finish line.
The game play might be very easy but what adds a challenge to the game is that the player does not control the characters individually, but simultaneously in such a way that controlling one character to jump also triggers the other two characters to jump as well. The three characters are also separated from each other by barriers and each of them can either have the same obstacle or a different one.
Personally, I enjoy playing games that are similar to Parallel. Aside from being a form of entertainment, it could also activate and make use of the player's critical thinking skills. The minimal yet striking interface also contributes to the overall gameplay of the online game.
As I was saying a few sentences ago, I enjoy playing games similar to Parallel 2 and one such game is Parallyzed. Parallyzed is a single player runner game available on Google Play (not sure if its available on App Store :/). In the game, the player controls the twins, Red and Blue, as they walk (run, rather) through a dream-like setting as Red tries to find a way to save her sister, whom she had accidentally killed out of jealousy.
The challenging part in playing Parallyzed is that there are many rules you have to follow. First is that, in the game, there are orbs that block the way and the player must see to it that the sisters walk through their color (Blue through blue orbs, and Red through... you got it right, red orbs).
Next is that there are instances wherein obstacles are only for one of the characters and you have to watch the path for both of them. Third, and last, is that there are special orbs that shifts the gravity (one or both of them can be running on the ceiling, for instance).
Parallyzed is actually a very great and challenging game. Its graphics and design are very surreal and appropriate to the theme which makes players want to play it over and over.
