THE AWARD-WINNING RETRO PUZZLE PLATFORMER — DEFINITIVE EDITION Babylonian Twins is a hand-crafted 2D puzzle platformer set in ancient Mesopotamia. Guide the twin princes of Babylon, Nasir and Blasir, on a quest to free their kingdom from an evil sorcerer. Freeze one twin into a stone statue — use him as a stepping stone, or as a weight on an ancient mechanism — while the other dashes, drills and battles through five hand-crafted worlds. This is a platformer where thinking beats reflexes: the jump you cannot make is usually a puzzle you have not solved yet. A PIECE OF GAMING HISTORY Created in Baghdad in 1993 for the Commodore Amiga, Babylonian Twins was the first commercial-quality video game made in Iraq. It was lost to history for seventeen years, until an acclaimed rebirth in 2010 brought it back. If you grew up on Amiga platformers — the deliberate pacing, the hand-drawn parallax backdrops, the puzzle-first level design — this is a retro platform game you never got the chance to play. • TouchArcade 4.5/5 — Game of the Week • PocketGamer Silver Award • GamePro 4.5/5 • Featured by Apple ("Great Platformer") and Google (Staff Picks) Now back in its Definitive Edition: the same retro puzzle platformer, rebuilt for modern phones and tablets. EXPLORE ANCIENT MESOPOTAMIA • 15 platforming levels across 5 worlds: the Royal Prison, Procession Street, the Hanging Gardens, the Assyrian Palace and the Tower of Babylon • Outsmart traps, guards and machinery with the unique twin-switch mechanic • Classic platform-adventure design: drills, moving platforms, keys, switches and hidden routes, with no timers and nothing pushing you to rush • Every world is a puzzle box — climb the Tower of Babylon, cross the Hanging Gardens, and break out of the Royal Prison • Collect real Mesopotamian treasures in the artifact gallery, from the Royal Game of Ur to the Lion of Babylon • Original acclaimed soundtrack blending Middle Eastern themes FREE TO TRY — THEN ONE UNLOCK • Play the tutorials and the first two levels free: no ads, no timers, no nagging • One purchase opens all 15 levels and every treasure, forever • Bought the unlock years ago?
