When coming up with the skins for each character, we had a few things in mind.
1. Keep the characters original identity
2. Put a spin on their identity that could step outside the game's lore
3. Make them fun!
Saffron - Witch
For Saffron we wanted to emphasize her magical prowess, and what's more magical than witch? It came just in time for Halloween too! One of the most interesting things about this one is that the character will be riding around on a broom the whole time, which works well with the dash/move mechanic of the game but also gives a whole different feel of riding on a "mount."
Reva - Cyber
Reva still has her shield and still has her tough-armored look, but is now leaner, faster, and more aggressive. We thought it would be cool to see her in an offensive form since she is so shield-centric. Her pop-out energy shield makes her feel a lot snappier and agile!
Hazel - Priestess
As a mechanic, Hazel repairs her turrets. We thought it was similar to what a Priestess does, except they're healing people. The magical theme with the staff was a nice replacement for Hazel's wrench. And we got to bring in some inspiration from one of my favorite games, Fire Emblem!
The skins are being created by jtangc, one of my biggest personal inspirations for pixel art. It's been an honor to work with him!
Let us know which ones are your favorite, and what other skins you're looking forward to!
Of course, you won't need to pay extra for any of these!
