- from the series of cooperative games designed and implemented by PimSoft.

- cooperative strategies and help each other.

- The plot of the game.
-
- The players control two personages who play against evil creatures. Each
- personage can move around the screen between the bricks and can push one
- brick at a time.
- However, one of them can push bricks only up and down, another one - to
- the left and to the right. On one hand, each player has full freedom of
- action, but on the other hand, very quickly the players understand that they
- have to cooperate with one another.
- Creatures are aggressive and any contact with them is mortal.
- The situation of the game creates common interests on the basis of the
- same goal. Communicating during the game to achieve this goal the players
- unite.
-
- The goal of the game.

- As a result of the game, partners learn a very important skill - the
