One and One Story is a neat little puzzle platformer from Armor Games, an indie games company whom I happen to have an affinity for. But more importantly, One and One is a love story. A love story commendably conveyed with very few words. You and your lover are separated, and you must brave grave peril and possible death by random spikes in order to be reunited with one another. By pushing blocks. And jumping over spikes. Don't forget the spikes.
One and One is also one of many Limbo clones that cropped up in it's wake, trying to capture the magic and ambiance it created. One and One manages to create it's own little niche within a niche, creating puzzle elements that will require you to use both characters to navigate. At times you can alternate between characters, others times they move in tandem or in opposites directions, and at one point your loved one is moving of her own accord and you have to get to her before she inevitably wanders into her doom. You will also repeat levels, but will have to solve them with different physics in play.
Overall, the game is executed very well. It's just so very, very short. An hour, maybe. However, there is a bonus mode that is unlocked upon clearing the main game. I haven't gotten all the way through that yet, but it adds some interesting content worth working towards. I won't give it away though. Also, I discovered there is a sequel, so I'm looking forward to checking that out.
