The briefing

About this game

Dynamic Duo follows a bird and a dwarf exploring a haunted castle. Their objective is to open the door to the calculation room, which requires finding ten hidden keys.

The game combines action, adventure, arcade, beat 'em up, puzzle, and shooter elements. Players can switch between the two protagonists, whose abilities differ: the bird can fly and moves faster, while only the dwarf can open chests. Enemies can be shot using a gun with limited ammunition.

The display includes an action screen, a map, and a status screen. When the protagonists explore separate areas—or when a second player joins—the map can be replaced by a second action screen.
