Progress Through Stages Through Two-Player Cooperation and Puzzle-Solving

BOKURA: planet requires two players using two machines to communicate to play this two-player puzzle adventure game.
The two players must convey what they each are seeing to their partner and work together to solve the puzzles in each stage, but a new “push” action has been added to BOKURA: planet! Players can send each other flying as they play the game…
…which means that players can push each other off cliffs if one is in the other’s way. Cooperation alone might not be enough this time! Players must not only work together, but anxiously navigate the possibility of confrontation.
Story
The earth was destroyed, and the few survivors began anew from the Stone Age, and a new civilization was built.
Eventually, they were able to journey into space, and so they planned to investigate faraway planets.
However, the distance between the earth and those planets was great, and it would take several hundred years to complete the journey.
Therefore, those condemned to death row were chosen to carry out the investigation.
On the journey, the research ship breaks down and two crew members must make an emergency escape.
They make an emergency landing on an unknown red planet, and they both have their own reason why they must return to Earth.
Will they be able to return safely?

Message from the Creator
BOKURA: planet is based on ideas from the planning stages of BOKURA.
At the time, I was able to expand ideas that were antithetical to BOKURA, but I chose to bring various ideas into equilibrium to create BOKURA.
I am confident that I made the right decision, but at the same time, I often wondered what would have happened if I had pursued some of those other ideas. Eventually, I couldn’t stand wondering what might have been and created BOKURA: planet. It has turned out wonderfully.
