About this game

THE AWARD-WINNING RETRO PUZZLE PLATFORMER — DEFINITIVE EDITION

Babylonian Twins is a hand-crafted 2D puzzle platformer set in ancient Mesopotamia. Guide the twin princes of Babylon, Nasir and Blasir, on a quest to free their kingdom from an evil sorcerer. Freeze one twin into a stone statue — use him as a stepping stone, or as a weight on an ancient mechanism — while the other dashes, drills and battles through five hand-crafted worlds. This is a platformer where thinking beats reflexes: the jump you cannot make is usually a puzzle you have not solved yet.

A PIECE OF GAMING HISTORY
Created in Baghdad in 1993 for the Commodore Amiga, Babylonian Twins was the first commercial-quality video game made in Iraq. It was lost to history for seventeen years, until an acclaimed rebirth in 2010 brought it back. If you grew up on Amiga platformers — the deliberate pacing, the hand-drawn parallax backdrops, the puzzle-first level design — this is a retro platform game you never got the chance to play.

Ratings and reviews

5 years ago I gave this 1 star for not having any touch controls. Fast forward to now & the developer has addressed this. Tried it again & it works great like that. Funny thing is I prefer a controller now & it's much better using that! Bought the full version as it is worth it.

cant get through door on level one. opens but level dowsnt end

Edit: Works perfectly on full screen on my TCL NXTPAPER 70 PRO.

What’s new
