About DYO

✦ AI summary

Guide two Minotaurs through a cursed labyrinth by merging and splitting a divided screen to manipulate the environment and solve intricate puzzles across 30 cleverly designed levels. This award-winning co-op platformer strips away combat and timers to focus purely on mind-bending spatial reasoning that rewards creative problem-solving and teamwork.


DYO is an award-winning local co-op puzzle platformer for one or two players in which you navigate two Minotaurs through a seemingly impassable maze and solve mind-bending puzzles. Each Minotaur is trapped in their half of the split screen – but only in a combined effort can they escape the cursed labyrinth.

In this impossible maze, you can merge both halves of the split screen into one and thus hop from one side of the screen over to the other. Use this ability to your advantage! It’s up to you to rearrange and manipulate the level structures of 30 carefully crafted levels in order to carve out a path to the exit. Many have tried to figure out the numerous mind-boggling challenges hidden in the depths of this cursed labyrinth. Will you be the first to solve them?

Team DYO


DYO started out as a holiday project of four Game Design students in 2014. Since then, DYO has come a long way: It’s 2018 and – after winning several awards and having been exhibited all over the world – DYO is now finally available on Steam. So grab a copy, grab a friend and get ready for 30 levels of mind-bending puzzle action!

Features

  • Good old local co-op fun for 1 or 2 players.
  • Merge and split your screens to manipulate the level around you.
  • No precision platforming. No enemies. No timers. Just you and your brains.
  • 30 levels (3-4 hours of playtime) of mind-bending puzzles and more to come.
  • Find multiple solutions to each level (some of which not even the devs might know of).
  • Don't have two controllers to play with your friend? You can also play on one shared controller!

Recommendation


For the best DYO experience, we recommend playing with a friend!

DYO is an inventive cooperative puzzle platformer that takes a familiar split-screen setup and turns it into the foundation of its entire puzzle system. Developed by Josia Roncancio and published by Team DYO, the game follows two Minotaurs attempting to find their way out of a mysterious labyrinth. Instead of emphasizing combat, difficult platforming, or quick reflexes, it asks players to manipulate perspectives, understand spatial relationships, and cooperate to create paths that would otherwise be impossible to traverse. The result is a compact but memorable puzzle game built around an idea that feels genuinely different from traditional platformers. The defining mechanic involves the two halves of the screen, with each Minotaur normally occupying a separate section. These perspectives are not simply independent viewpoints. Players can manipulate and merge portions of the screens so that platforms and passages from one side connect with geometry on the other. A ledge that appears useless in one perspective might become a bridge when correctly aligned with the opposite screen. Likewise, an apparently impassable wall can sometimes be circumvented by changing how the two environmen…

Can't believe this is free, it's a crazy good puzzle for 2 players (or solo) and I definitely reccomend this for co-op enjoyoors. It's sad the company had to shutdown but the fact that they made their title free before doing so earns my respect.
