Combi-Form is a game that allows multiple players to physically combine their controllers for creating a collective and collaborative gaming interface. The physical combining and de-combining mechanic opens a new level of interaction never seen before in the video gaming world.
Video game players have a convention not to interact or interfere with each others’ controller or space. Combi-Form is one attempt to break down this boundary between players. The name comes from merging the words combine and transform, which are the two key concepts in our game.

As a gamer, I find your ‘Combi-Form’ interface to be, well…a game-changer.
Sorry, couldn’t resist the pun. I appreciate the idea of piercing the boundary between players, which can stretch the possibilities in a game…but who controls the resulting entity? You’ve opened a new doorway that’s never been explored before – I’d love to see how far the concept can go.
