Two characters, one brain
Every level is a small race against the clock: move the two halves of your severed wizard through their own gauntlets and make them meet before time runs out. The catch is that you control both at once, one with each hand, and they never move in sync. Learn a jump with the left wizard, then discover the right one needs to do something entirely different at that exact moment. Early levels are symmetrical and gentle; later ones ask for genuinely separate plans in each hand. It is hard, laughably so at times, but never unfair: when you die, the fault is clearly yours.
One hundred levels with a plan
The 100 single-screen levels are built with obvious care: each has a clear idea behind it, and a new mechanic arrives every few levels, sticks around, then hands over to the next. Spikes, traps, objects to interact with and vanishing platforms all show up, and the last stretch mixes everything at once. Replaying early levels later is its own pleasure, because you can feel how far your hands have come. There is a speedrun mode for chasing times, a random level mode, and mirror versions of stages for when forward was somehow not hard enough.
Can you actually play it with two hands?
How long does it take to finish?
Several hours for a first clear, spread across 100 levels with thousands of retries along the way. The levels are short and reload instantly, so it works well in quick sessions, and speedrun and random modes give it life after the credits.
Keyboard or controller?
Both work, and you can reconfigure the keys. On controller each wizard gets a stick or d-pad side and its own buttons; on keyboard the two halves split across both hands. Try both early, since the difference is bigger than you would expect.
