Kinetic TwinZ is a student-made game created in around 40 days by ISART Digital students as part of their final-year project, giving them the opportunity to put their skills and learning into practice. We hope you enjoy the experience they have created for you!

-------------

Play together in local co-op using Joy-Cons and motion controls, where every movement matters.

In an abandoned gym, turn volleyball into a revolution as rebellious twins: Smash, pass, dodge, and coordinate your actions to survive your encounter with the anti-fun police and push back against a world that wants to shut down fun... forever.

The goal ? Defeat the ANTI-FUN POLICE

In a world where fun is forbidden, play the role of two rebellious teens who are determined to have a good time. 

And how to do that, you  might ask?

Passing the ball between both player charges it up! A fully charged ball will deal MAXIMUM damage to the boss!

Smash TOGETHER for a brilliant finish!

Set-up

Kinetic TwinZ requires Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons to play. The ideal experience uses the Switch's motion controls, but accessibility options are available for those who can't!
The initial set-up can be a little finicky, but the following advice should take you through any issues you might encounter:

On Windows:

• Open Settings > Bluetooth & devices

• Toggle Bluetooth on

If you have previously connected Joy-Cons:

• Click on each Joy-con: (L) and (R)

• Click "Remove"

This step is vital, as it is impossible to automatically or re-connect a disconnected Joy-Con on Windows.

Turn on your Joy-cons:

• Press and hold the small, circular black button located in between SL and SR.

After 3 seconds the lights should start to flicker.

On Windows:

• Add Device > Bluetooth > Joy-Con (L) and Joy-Con (R) individually

• Open Steam

• Click "Play"!

The whole team wishes you the best experience playing Kinetic TwinZ. 

Frequently Asked Questions

I'm having connection issues, lag or the motion controls aren't working

• You might be too far away from your PC. Distance can cause lag or disconnection of Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons.

• Disconnecting and reconnecting your Joy-Cons tends to fix most issues. We recommend updating your Bluetooth drivers for the smoothest experience.

Can I play with Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons?

• Sadly, no. Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons won't connect to a PC via Bluetooth, contrary to the first generation Joy-Cons. If this becomes possible we would love to ensure compatibility!

I don't have Joy-Cons. Can I play with a keyboard?

• Technically it is possible to replace two Joy-Cons with a keyboard and a controller. We don't recommend you play like this, but if you want to experience Kinetic TwinZ and don't have any Joy-Cons, you can! Please note that the pictogrammes and other in-game signs will not reflect this.
