I was actually thinking about a local CO-OP mode, since I saw in your other comments that an online multiplayer mode wouldn’t be possible, at least for now.
After my last comment, I thought of a few more elements for the CO-OP mode, such as:
-
The Princess (the one who can’t leave the match area) moves using WASD and can traverse mobile areas by double-clicking in the desired direction.
-
The Prince uses mouse and can only reach the other side of the screen by passing through these mobile areas.
-
If they meet while one is jumping through a mobile area and the other is already inside it, they both receive a small buff:
-
Princess gains temporary level 1 armor (can endure one hit)
-
Prince gets a 10-second damage buff against shapes
-
Here’s an example (not covering everything above, just to illustrate the idea):
As for Alma, I’m really trying to replicate Be Witches art style, but it might end up looking a bit different since I only have experience with art apps like Aseprite. Other than that, it should be fine (and pixelated)
Here's a sneaky peek .O. :
