Life that blossoms in a dying world
The 34th of a project comparing works distributed on smartphones/tablets and other models.
This time, we’re dealing with “World for Two”, which creates life in a destructible world drawn with pixel art.
Both the iOS version and the Nintendo Switch version were used for comparison. In the game presentation, we will use the image of the iOS version.

What is “A World for Two”?
・ An adventure game that creates life in a destroyed world
・ The world is attractively drawn with pixel art and beautiful BGM
・ Since it is a game that searches for DNA combinations, you can play slowly.
Differences between the smartphone version and other model versions
・ You can play the smartphone version for free until the end.
・ Add life and prequel scenarios that can be created, although the other models are paid
・ BGM can be changed to piano quintet as a bonus for clearing the game on other models.
The point of attention is the beauty of the pixel art
“World for Two” is a game where an android created in a destroyed world combines DNA to create life.
As a game, it looks for combinations of DNA to create life, but it can also be said that it is a work that enjoys the world itself drawn with pixel art and beautiful tones.

▲ The main character is an android created by a doctor who is the only survivor of mankind.
 |
 |
▲ There are multiple fields such as marshes and forests, and the scenery changes over time. The art, including the background, creates a very nice atmosphere.
As for the flow of the early stage, natural energy is collected from devices on the field, DNA is created based on it, and amoeba, the beginning of life, is created from there.
DNA can also be extracted from life forms such as amoebas, and by combining the extracted DNA with DNA created from natural energy, new life can be created.
 |
 |
▲ Collect natural energy from tools on the field and create DNA.
 |
 |
▲ Combining specific DNA will give birth to life and appear on the field.
 |
 |
▲ DNA can be analyzed by examining life in the field. It’s very simple here because you look at the color and choose the corresponding shape.
DNA can be collected from life that has completed a DNA analysis.
If you collect DNA from the same life three times, that life will disappear, but if you combine two of the same DNA, you can create the same life again, so it possible to increase the amount of DNA as much as you want.
 |
 |
▲ Combining diverse DNA to develop life. If you try a combination that doesn’t produce life, the DNA will disappear, but if you take the time, you can reassemble it from life energy.
In addition to creating DNA, energy is also used to update the laboratory facilities, and with repeated updates, it becomes possible to create more diverse lives.
Rather than the thrill of an action or RPG, the appeal of this title is the growing atmosphere of life in a quiet world.
Extras can be paid for other model versions
The first major difference between the smartphone version of “World for Two” and other models is that the smartphone version is free.
It is possible to charge to support developers in the game, but there are no benefits for doing so, so it is a pure developer support element.

On the other hand, in the paid version for other models, a craftable life has been added, and the animation of the existing life has been refreshed.
In addition, a preview of an additional scenario has been added that can be enjoyed after clearing the main story, and as an obvious privilege, the BGM can be changed to a piano quintet.
The BGM is also an attractive work, so if you like the atmosphere of this work, you can say that the BGM change is also a point of interest.

▲ In the Switch version, Clione etc. have been added, and different lives can be born from the same combination as in the smartphone version. You can also see the motion of opening the head as in predation.
Furthermore, the operational feel is different between the two.
The smartphone version is a tap operation, swipe in the direction you want to go, or tap the point you want to move or the point you want to investigate.
On the other hand, the other model version is a controller operation, and is operated using an analog stick.
Basically, there is no difference, but the response is a little more comfortable with the operation of the controller.
In particular, in the scene where the matching DNA is selected by sliding the DNA analysis, the operation of the controller was smoother (the touch operation was not a problem, but sometimes it did not work as expected).
However, since this work is not a game that requires complex operations, there is no need to worry about the difference in operation.
First of all, if you like the atmosphere of the smartphone, buy the other model version
The smartphone version of “World for Two” is free, so it would be a good idea to try it first.
As mentioned above, you can charge, but there is no benefit from it, so if you like the work and want to support the developer, you should buy the Switch version or the Steam version, which includes additional elements.
Of course, if you play in the gap time like travel time, you can play the smartphone version until the end.
