Linked Instances is a simple puzzle-game created for the Mini Gim #3: Link gamejam. The theme for the jam wa 'link' and it lasted a weekend. After a bit of brainstorming I got the idea to make a puzzle game inspired by Blender linked-instances system. In this puzzle game, you can manipulate objects using Blenders standard transform controls, grabbing, rotating, and scaling them. However, when you did manipulate one of the objects, it would also manipulate the other one. Their linked instance so to speak.

I went with a minimalistic art style so I could focus on polishing it within a weekend worth of time.

Here you can see a level that introduces a new mechanic, linking and unlinking objects. Since both cubes will move up and down together, you have to unlink the yellow one when it reaches their target position so that you can then move the other cube as well.
