Tandem is a 2D puzzler platformer holding a dark atmosphere for its journey. The presentation of the game is nice and adjusting the settings, my PC can play it without major hiccups.
How the game differs from other puzzle platformers is you play as two characters. With the ability to change characters you change perspectives from a top-down to side scroller to work together to solve the level puzzle. You will need to change in order to progress each character and reach the goal.
There are about 5 world with 45 levels in total. Each level can take on average 10 mins to finish, with the later levels taking longer and a real head scratcher.
Although the game differs from the genre with a shadow mechanic, I did find the game repetitive. When finishing a level, there is no major satisfaction upon progressing. Having no collectables to obtain, no real story to push you forward, or no reward like costume or high score to achieve.
Due to this, the game overall feel shallow outside the levels and mechanics it offers therefore obtaining no replay value.
