About this game

Enter a mesmerising trance of co-dependence in Duet. The rules are simple: control two vessels in sync, survive against all odds and keep calm.

Your survival is dependent on protecting two vessels - they are devices in sync, a dance and song between two entities tethered together in symbiosis. Feel edge of your seat terror where the world around you becomes quiet and numb as all that matters is the game living between your palms -- that is Duet.

Ratings and reviews

If you love well-designed, minimalistic, skill-based twitch arcade games, this should be on the top of your list! Once you've cleared and mastered the main levels (easier said than done), every paid DLC adds a new, mind-bending mechanic to up the ante! An added bonus is that people who watch you play will think you're some kind of mastermind, but that's besides the point.

When I downloaded the game I had no expectation. Just some random phone game with no real dynamic or appeal, and the concept was very simple. But I immediately fell in love. The musics great, the voice over is surprisingly well done, and the mechanics are so well implemented. New things every section and I genuinely cracked a smile and was shocked whenever something new happened. And the overlying DABDA theme made me cry. I don't leave reviews for games, but I had to for this.

This game is flawless. It brings challenge, it's relaxing, and it's never repetitive. I'm in wave 600+ in the continuance challenge. So many challenges, and the paid add-ons are so cheap and worth it. Such therapeutic gameplay, and the soundtrack is so original. Best of all, there is no lag, loading, or really any stutter in anything, and my 90Hz display just makes this simple game look like a AAA title 😸
