Our take on Betty & Earl
The defining constraint is that every move shifts the connected world, turning character movement into a puzzle that also rearranges the surrounding environment.
What is Betty & Earl?
Betty & Earl is a puzzle game built around shared movement: when a character moves, the connected world moves in the same direction.
The environment creates obstacles that must be navigated or cleared to bring Betty and Earl together. Creatures can block routes, be slid into groups, or interact with objects the main characters cannot reach directly. They can pick up keys, open doors, and remove obstacles. The game also includes original artwork and text in Toki Pona, a language described as having 120 words.
