guides will grow on this page over time.
The basics
Two princes, one quest.
You control the twin princes Nasir & Blasir. Only one moves at a time — switch to the other with a single tap (or button). The idle twin freezes into solid stone: a stepping stone, a counterweight, a shield. Almost every puzzle is solved by deciding who moves and who stays.
Getting through a level
Drill, dash, and think.
Dash to cross gaps and stun enemies; drill through cracked ground to reach hidden rooms and treasure. Levels are large and multi-layered — when you're stuck, look for a block the frozen twin can become, or a path only the other prince can take.
Controls
Play it your way.
On phones and tablets, the on-screen D-pad is fully customizable — drag it, resize it, and place each button where your thumbs want it. Full gamepad and Steam Input support is built in too, so it plays right on a controller or a TV.
Frequently asked.
Which platforms is Babylonian Twins on?
It's available now on the App Store (iPhone · iPad) and Google Play (Android). The Definitive Edition is coming to Steam for Windows, Mac and Linux. The original 1993 Amiga version lives on the 1993 page.
Is there a free version?
Yes — the mobile game is free to start, so you can play the opening before deciding to continue. One story, wherever you play it.
What languages does it support?
Eleven, including full right-to-left Arabic — the language the game was born in — plus English, 日本語, 中文, Español, Français, Deutsch, 한국어, Português, Русский and Italiano.
How do I play the original 1993 Amiga game?
Head to the 1993 page — you can download the authentic Amiga disk image (.adf) and run it in an emulator like FS-UAE or WinUAE, with step-by-step notes. The Steam Definitive Edition will also include the original, fully playable.
Do my saves carry over between devices?
Progress is kept through each platform's cloud-save service, so a reinstall or a new device restores where you left off on that platform.
