Sidekick

Made by Emilly for GMTK 2023

A 2D puzzle platformer where you're playing as a protagonist  sidekick, trying to help the protagonist reach the end of the level by possessing different items like coins, platforms, trampolines, and even enemies!

Controls:

W/A/S/D - Movement, some items can't move.

Q - Enables 'Possession vision' where you can select an item you want to possess by clicking on them.

E - Special ability, only available for certain items and the ability depends on the kind of item.

Known bugs:

1. If you end the level while in object selection mode (after pressing Q), the whole game is slowed down, including the level transition.
