Connected Destiny is a free-to-play endless runner with swerve mechanics, where movement is deliberately constrained by a shared physical connection.
Players must rise upward while avoiding obstacles, controlling one character at a time as their actions directly influence the other.

With 1K+ downloads on Google Play Store, the game explores how limited control and interdependence can shape moment-to-moment gameplay.

It was briefly published by Nikhil Malankar, CEO of GameEon Studios under his FLIG program.
