What is Rico – A Tale Of Two Brothers?
Rico – A Tale Of Two Brothers is a retro-inspired platformer for iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows, Mac and Linux that mixes elements from many great classics like Super Mario, Castlevania or Metroid with my own humble ideas.
Bottom line: I wanted to create a game I would have loved to play as a child and still love to play now!
Rico features 32 levels spread over 4 worlds of retro awesomeness!

What do the players say?
“Just what the 8-bit Dr. ordered!!! Awesome music, graphics, good controls and gameplay! Best dollar spent on the android market yet!!!”

- Gavin
“Awesome platformer! This is a perfect platformer game! Fun levels, varied environments, classis feel. If you have ever liked any platform game, you will feel right at home with Rico!”

Hey, I was looking around for your page on steam greenlight (well if it even exists) Can you kindly point me in the right direction?
If you are not up on greenlight, I would strongly suggest it! I believe that Rico – A Tale of Two Brothers would easily get greenlit by the steam community and your fans. Good luck, I love this game!
Thanks Justin!
It’s not on Greenlight… and I don’t think I will put it there. The reason is there are so many games on Greenlight already, many with a huge marketing budget. I simply cannot compete with such games and companies as they can drive much more users towards their greenlight page to generate clicks.
Nice game, but it could be better with more alive enemy like demons, creatures, etc. imho.
Hi I have completed the bundle edition and I am looking into buying the full version, but I would like to know I can somehow transfer my save from the bundle edition to the full version.
Hi! The savegame is automatically shared between the two, so no need to transfer anything.
Hello there will be an iphone 5 port? sorry for my bad english.
Yes, an IPhone port is in the works!
Rico is now available for the iPhone!
Hey! Just dropping by to say this game is really good, I finished it today (although I still miss a few coins in the last world) and I loved it.
I bought it on IndieGameStand and so far it’s the best one I got there. Time to tackle those bonus levels now!
Cheers.
Thank you very much!
Where can I purchase this DRM free for Windows and Linux?
it’s only available on Desura, I’m afraid.
That is sad… I would purchase it if it were DRM Free.
where can i find that soundtrack?:D

Hey.
Did that bug with the controller mapping get sorted in the end? If yes, would I simply have to re-download it from indiegamestand?
By the way, I’m monkeytommo from that reddit thread you had going!
Hi!
Not yet, unfortunately. I’m still waiting on the developers of the libary I’m using to fix a nasty bug that makes using controllers behave weirdly on Mac (see http://www.badlogicgames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=7200). If you’re not on Mac, but Windows or Linux, I can send you a preliminary copy of the game where controllers should work. How about that?
Sounds good, thank you very much (windows by the way).
Hey there!
Sorry it took so long, but I just uploaded an updated version to both Desura and IGS, where the gamepad should work. *fingers crossed*
Thanks, I’m going to check it out now.
Works like a dream! By the way, I love the jet-pack
Hi, I have the iOS version and the game crashes at the start of world 3, stage 2. My specs are iPhone 5 running iOS 6.1.2, no jailbreak. Thanks for any related info.
Hi,
I will look into the issue today and get back to you as soon as I have news. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Regards,
Max
I have the exact same issue. On iPhone 4S, 6.1.2
First of all, I want to thank you for this lovely game
————-
Same problem here. The “loading”-Screen between world 3 stage 1 and stage 2 appears for a few seconds. And then the game crashes.
iPhone 4S, 6.1.2
Hey. Love the game. Only issue is on my android, the jump button either gets stuck or won’t work at all. If I’m in the wateor, I can’t jump out and I die. Happens quite a bit. Any chance it’s a bug issue?:-)
Hey! That sounds like a bug… which device do you have? Is it by chance a HTC?
My game crashes on the loading screen of world 3 level 2 as well.
I have an IPhone 4S iOS 5.1.1
I was really enjoying the game too
Did you get the newest update? It should be fixed with version 1.1!
Updating the app solved the problem. Thanks alot
Hey! Been a big fan of the game since I played the demo a few months ago, and was waiting for an opportunity to buy the full version, which I tried to do last night. Alas, every time I click ‘purchase’ on the Google Play (Sprint Galaxy Note 2) store link, it says ‘an error occured, your transaction was not completed’. I immediately tried purchasing another app and it went through fine, so not sure what the issue is. Perhaps you have an idea? Anyway, thanks for your time, and for creating such an instant classic. As soon as it will let me…my money is yours!
Hey!
There’s an issue with the Google checkout account right now, that’s why it’s not working currently. It should work again in about a week, then you can order.
Thanks for your kind words!
Understood. And no problem. Well deserved, and it seems I am not alone, judging by all the glowing reviews on the Play Store.
Thanks for the reply! Sucks that there is an issue, cuz I am fiending to dig into the full game, but I am willing to wait and will try again in a few days. 
Just wanted to say I bought the game on android. Its great. Best touch screen controls on a platformer ive ever encountered. Will you be making games for Xbox live arcade/Indies or Wii u eshop?
Thanks!
I don’t think I will make a move to these platforms anytime soon. I’ve got enough to do with releasing for 5 platforms as it is… I would really like to, but I only have two hands!
