In ilomilo, the two friends ilo and milo always seem to get separated from each other and it’s your task to help them reunite! It’s a world of cubes out there, where up is down and down is up. Some cubes are friendly and can be picked up, while others are more rebellious and walk about on their own accord. The two friends need to find ways to cooperate to be able to finally unite again!
You can also play ilomilo together with a special someone in cooperative mode. Cozy up on your couch with your friend, girlfriend, mom or someone else that you like and help guide each other through the puzzles! The journey of ilomilo will take you through four unique and twisted worlds filled with strange animals and cube-creatures.
