Hopefully the iPad version also goes on sale at $0.99 -- it looks like it might be a good game, but $4.99 is pricey.
Based on popular demand on this thread and others, I am putting the HD version on Sale too for a short period of time. Enjoy and don't forget the 5 star iTunes review.
I guess I don't understand what I am doing wrong. I am only on the tutorial level and already having trouble. I get to the point where the informational box appears that says to use the statue to hold the button down, but when playing as the male twin there is no statue near the button. When I am the female twin, the statue is right there. So the female twin can get under the closing door, but the male twin (the one who dashes, not spins) cannot get under the door. Also, when I switch twins, they are not in the same spot in the game. The female twin has reached the point where the informational box says to use the male twins dashing ability to break through the wall, but the male twin can't even make it through the closing door at the start of the level! What am I doing wrong?
Use one twin to stand on the plate to open the door. While standing on the switch, change to the other twin, and have then go through and do all the stuff they need to. Come back with that twin, stand on the plate, and change to the other twin, then the door will stay open, allowing that twin to go through and do their stuff. There is a fair amount of having to go back and forth. The twins are not always used in concert, and there is a reasonable amount of time that one or the other will be acting pretty much solo, and then allowing the other to go through and do their thing. Hopefully this makes sense.
It does. For some reason I thought that the twins were always together--I didn't get that one twin could be in one place and the other twin elsewhere. I thought that the player (me) just switched back and forth between the attributes of each twin. Now I get it . Thanks!

For this price, I'll double dip. Great puzzler, looking forward to the large, hi-rez graphics on the iPad...

Please add a "Save and Return to Main Menu" option in the pause menu. That is a must for every iDevice game.
There is save points in the game, represented by shields. Just touch one, and that's where you'll start from when dying or exiting the game. The levels have several each. When the game first was released, it didn't have these, as it was trying to be true to the original, I believe, but was added as a compromise I think. Works fine for me, but I'm an old school gamer... Didn't play the original, but I was around.. Platform gaming was definitely harder then, but somehow for the same reason, more rewarding...
