Let me tell a parable
(I swear I won't babble)
Of heroes named Tealy & Orangey;
Their courage profound
Appearances round
Will surely have listeners roarin' "Gee!"
A platformer, yes,
Was the difficult test
For protagonists orange and blue,
But there was one catch:
Their moves had to match;
When one moved, the other did too!
This was not convenient,
For not very lenient
Was the one who designed all these halls;
They faced levels twenty
And hazards aplenty
Like sharp spikes, and swift cannonballs.
You say you're not scared?
You think you're prepared?
You'll take on this game and defeat it?
How's this for a laugh:
Of the whole Jay-Is staff
Only I had the skill to complete it!
This game is quite tough
It quickly gets rough
So don't try it if you're too wimply,
But use lots of thought,
And plan, scheme, and plot,
And maybe you'll clear this game simply.
There isn't much sound,
No music around,
But maybe it's better that way;
The gameplay's the focus,
The big hocus-pocus,
And there I would give it an A!
The game's main mechanic
May make people panic,
But after that, it brings a smile;
The use of the gimmick
Is quite hard to mimic
With puzzles of devious style!
I won't keep you longer;
You won't get much stronger,
So go guide our two colored balls;
Use the arrows to move,
Get into the groove,
And make clever use of the walls!
