Here’s a sidekick character that I am playing around with. He would be some sort of character that follows you around. You can then toggle control over to him and position him strategically so that you can jump on him.
Check out the youtube video for some initial ideas about how the sidekick might be useful in-game. He’s very fun to control, and the swapping between the hero and sidekick quickly becomes very natural and fun.
Let me know if you have seen other implementation of something similar in other games.
