Semispheres
Semispheres is a single-player stealth puzzler where you simultaneously control two characters in connected parallel realities. The game is a mix of mind-bending puzzles and motor coordination challenges. Later levels introduce the co-op aspect of the game where the two sides need to work together (sometimes simultaneously) to progress.

Professional reviews from gaming critics
Semispheres is an easy game to recommend for fans of the puzzle genre. Challenging but fair sums it up nicely, with plenty of variety in mechanics and level design. The dual reality premise makes Semispheres distinctly unique in its gameplay and is a clever mechanic that other puzzle game developers would do well to take note of. It’s a relatively short game at around three to five hours depending on skill level. Nonetheless, it is still worthy of being mentioned within the top tier of its genre.
Overall then, Semispheres is a wonderful puzzle game with some incredibly clever level designs that will leave you stumped at times, a tricky but enjoyable twin-stick system, and a beautifully designed world with pleasing visuals and sound. A couple of things let the experience down slightly and the whole thing can be completed in under three hours, so it isn’t a bargain for the asking price, but you’ll definitely find enjoyment in getting to grips with the puzzles and character movement. A great buy for puzzle fans and a potential pleaser for everyone else too, Semispheres is certainly one to...
I completely love it. This is such a smart game, cleverly delivered both in style and execution, taking familiar puzzle ideas and making them feel bewilderingly original via its split-screen single-player co-op. I'm 31 levels into its 50 or so, and I'm currently completely stumped, but working at it. What a treat that is. This is one of the good ones.
Semispheres, an indie puzzler from Vivid Helix, may have found its home on the PlayStation Vita with this recently released port. The game has been available on the PlayStation 4 since February, but the short running time and simple controls feel like a much better match for Sony’s “legacy” handheld.
After watching too many reality TV shows or brainless blockbusters, you’ll occasionally get an itch that only a puzzle can satisfy.
Games where you control two things at once are always mind-bending. Semispheres will make you see orange and blue as you guide two jellyfish to their respective goals over and over again so let's solve some puzzles.
