Twin Synth

Twin Synth is a twin-stick shooter and synthesizer in which you create the soundtrack through your actions. You control two guns, shoot to move, and use recoil to steer while fighting enemies and earning style points. The game generates all sounds at runtime rather than using audio samples.

Shoot and move

Each gun can be fired independently, and shooting pushes you in the opposite direction. You can fire both guns at once to use more advanced techniques, but must aim carefully to control your movement. Unlockable upgrades change how you play and help you shape a preferred build.

Shape the sound

A synth section is available at any time, with a 16-channel mixer and synth controls. Its dedicated sequencers, volume sliders, and mute and solo buttons let you adjust the sound as you play; changes made in the synth section carry into gameplay, and actions in gameplay affect the sound as well. You can choose waveforms, transpose oscillators, use cross modulation, and apply master effects including reverb, delay, distortion and stutter. Presets provide ready-made sounds, while unlocked sound sets and the synth controls let you experiment and create your own.

Game modes

• Challenge Mode: test your skills against the final boss.
• Endless Mode: pursue a high score in an arcade-inspired mode.
• Freeplay Mode: experiment with unlocked sound sets or make sounds to perform with.

Local co-op

You can play any mode locally with a friend, with each player controlling one gun. The game also includes visual skins, high scores, achievements and challenges.
