Piccolo Studios showcased Age Twisters, a two-player co-op adventure in which a granddaughter and her grandfather use age-bending bracelets to shift between child, youth, adult and elder forms. Each age comes with its own portrait, voice acting, dynamic dialogue and unique puzzle abilities, and the studio designed the game to evoke warm, Pixar-like feelings while keeping challenge lower than games like It Takes Two. A Gamescom demo showed mostly simple puzzles and revealed only the first two age powers in play.
- Developer Piccolo Studios built Age Twisters as a two-player cooperative adventure demoed at Gamescom.
- Players control a granddaughter-grandfather pair with bracelets that let characters age up or down from young child to elderly during gameplay.
- Each age has distinct portraits, voice acting and dialogue, and grants specific abilities: kids can swap with other characters/objects and teleport, youths use rock instruments to slow projectiles/enemies, adults punch to clear paths, and elders use large magnets to push or pull objects.
- The game prioritizes evolving, varied gameplay and an emotional tone similar to a Pixar film, intentionally keeping puzzles gentler than tougher co-op titles like It Takes Two.
