action
Ilo and Milo are two beings, called Safkas, who meet every day in a park. Every day they look for each other in the park, every evening they part again. The obstacles that stand in their way become more and more tricky and the park, consisting of cubes lined up, becomes more and more difficult to cross. Each chapter of the game corresponds to a day in the life of the two Safkas. The separation after the first day leads e.g. B. to the fact that the two shed many tears, so that the second level takes place under water. In the final chapter, the main characters decide not to go their separate ways at the end of the day. They meet in a flying locomotive and leave the park.
In addition to the main storyline, there is a subplot that can be viewed by collecting memory fragments. This tells the story of two people, Ilona and Milton, who write to each other and who want to meet in a park. In the end, they buy tickets for the Night Train and leave together.
Another subplot is told to the player by Sebastian, a helping minor character, in the bonus levels. In these there are also small cameos from the main characters of other video game: Super Meat Boy , Machinarium and World of Goo .
Gameplay
The two main characters Ilo and Milo start separately in each level and have to find each other. The player can switch between the two characters at any time, which he also has to do, since different puzzles can only be solved in this way. The individual worlds consist of cubes lined up next to each other, special cubes serve Ilo and Milo as aids. There is a flying cube, a cube that stretches out in different directions and with which one can overcome abysses and also individual cubes without function that can be placed anywhere. In each of the 49 levels there are 3 different colored Safkas hidden that must be collected in order to unlock the bonus levels. In the two-player mode, the players also take turns, only one player can play actively at a time. In the start menu of the Xbox game you will also find a mini-game in which you control Ilo and Milo at the same time while they have to collect objects on moving platforms without falling over the edge. Additional chapters 5 & 6 will be available as DLC under the name Autumn Tale , but there is no release date yet.
