8 Eyes/Gameplay

Regardless of whether you're playing with 1 or 2 players, you play a single adventure. In a single-player game, controller one moves both Orin and Cutrus, while in multiplayer, controller one handles Orin and controller two is for Cutrus. There are a lot of different controls for each screen, so be sure to make a note of this list.
