Streamed this lasterday, got stuck at the soccer ball. I had some points in the stream, but to summarize, the escort aspect should be deemphasized, because you offer the player to repeat their steps and no puzzle I saw required both characters at once, which is faulty design because there are two characters.

* If you wanted to know level passwords, the white square in one of the corners of the main menu screen shows a board with all passwords (And to disable it, you look at another corner with a similar square). Because the squares are green and have white diamond shapes but one has inverted colors.
* Yeah, I did trace over 3D models and even talked about doing that, just because I wanted to be quick with art.
* To me, that's just a recurring tile pattern that always existed. There's also an actual WW2 inspired setting later on.
* What pentagram are you talking about? And also, I already have another setting that has Hell, so the only pentagrams are the intentional ones for that setting.
* The idea of the hats in those drawings is that the cap represents the older sibling while the spinner hat represents the younger one. They don't represent any of the main characters visually and I wanted to try something more "universal".
* Ezcudos is based off "Escudos" which translates to "shields". It's based on the currency Portugal used to have before the Euro.
* The thing with the tutorials is that they used to have too many books and each with a drawing, so I went by having the illustrations put around the level and have few books for specific things while also assuming they could offer some info through visuals.
* When you enter the soccer ball state by pressing down, you then press left/right depending on where you want the ball to go or up to cancel the state.
* The point of playing as the companion is in case the main controls are a bit difficult but the game is still mainly built around that idea.
Also, you ignored the first book and the 2 screens, with videos I put to show off the main controls and ladder controls for the kid.
