Synopsis
It seems quite easy to make different gestures by left and right hands at the same time.
But, can you prove it?
Left&Right is a game of testing your ability of left brain, drawing various of squares and circles. This puzzling game will make your brain clash!
Left and Right, left or right? If you feel difficult about this game, introduce this game to your friends. Maybe you can feel better.


Gameplay
This game tests your ability with your hand co-ordination in an entertaining and fun game. You must use two fingers or thumbs, one from each hand (why it is called Left&Right) and successfully draw set shapes along paths at the same time. This game is like no other that I have seen before, but it is surprisingly addictive and fun to play. You progress through the small number of levels, completing them one at a time until you finish the game or give up. Some of the levels take a bit of time to complete, and the angrier and more frustrated you get, the worse your co-ordination and concentration is. You are given a screen with two different simple, or abstract shapes on either side of the screen which are separated by a smooth, orange line. The shapes start off simple and gradually get harder, an example of this are the first and last levels, on the first level you have to draw a 2 lines, the one with the left hand going up, and the line with the right hand going down. The last level however, is a whole different story. The shape on the left hand side looks like 4 circles, each with a quarter of them taken out, connected in a symmetrical pattern, you are tasked to draw this at the same time as co-ordinating yourself to draw another shape which has the straight line pattern up, left, down, right 4 times in a row with many lines varying in length. This game gives some very fun and challenging levels, which will entertain you for a long time.


Graphics
The graphics in this game are very nice, the colors are the first thing you notice and are what help you the most distinguish the different elements of the levels. You have the background color which corresponds with the color of the stage (the 7 stages each of which contain 5 levels and have a different base color), the bright orange which is used by the separator line in the middle of the screen and the dot which you hold to draw the lines, and the color of the shape tracks on which you need to draw on which is a darker shade of the background color. All of the colors fit together nicely to make the game look nice, but also help the player distinguish the different parts of it and make it less of a task to play.


Audio
The sound in this game is very calm and peaceful, almost to help you through the game as it can be quite frustrating at points. In the background, there is a background track that plays, it is just a simple piano piece but it suits the game well. There aren't many other sound effects in this game, when you are too far out of the path boundaries you will fail the level, this plays a glass-shatter sound effect which lets you know that you have done something wrong. Sound effects like this are good because they demonstrate the result of your action with audio


Controls
The controls in this game are the main thing that make it up; they are different in every single level. This is what makes the game so different to any other. Most games have defined controls which wont change much, but this game does not play by those rules. Drawing two shapes at the same time, using different hands, with different lengths, directions and overall shape perimeter is no easy task, especially when you get to the higher levels. Some levels have a huge shape and a small one, you also have to control the speed at which you are drawing the lines, as there are certain points on the shapes where you have to meet the lines at the same point, this could be far along one shape but not another. Being able to figure out when, where and how to draw the shape taking all of these things into consideration is what makes this game what it is.
