Alternate outfits

This is probably a really dorky idea, but I thought it would be fun if you could change the girl's outfits. Seeing her run across the balance beam in the pendant room, as well as the way she jumps, reminded me of a little ninja, so I thought it would be cute if she had a little ninja costume. Maybe the robot could have different armor styles too, and these would be like "Easter eggs" that you find throughout the game, not that I mean to make more work for you guys. You've done an incredible job already, and with a few more levels I'd probably buy up the game as it is in a heartbeat!

That reminds me, I also thought it would be cool if the robot could smash open barrels or crates with his sword. And on the topic of the girl jumping, it feels a little clunky how she runs, jumps, and stops when she lands, rather than hitting the ground running.

I don't mean to bug you with all these posts but this is my first time "alpha testing" anything, so I'm taking it pretty seriously; kind of like a dream come true. Keep up the good work! And by all means, have fun!

The running and jumping animations could definitely do with a bit of tweaking.  It might be helpful to add a quick transition animation as well.  I noticed this as well, but just chalked it up to the game being in alpha.

Oh, and a ninja outfit would be quite fun. Maybe, if the dev's don't want to have that part of the main storyline, they could make it a reward for finishing the game. Like after we beat the game, we could play through it again with new outfits or something.

Oh, definitely after the game.

Here are my costume idea drawings. The forum wouldn't let me post them in "fan art" which seems counter intuitive. I'm not as good of an artist as I would like to be, so pardon the quality.

Here's my ideas for the girl. From top-left, you've got the original, ninja costume, and jumpsuit (I thought she needed long-fall boots and any puzzle game instantly makes me think of P****l). I wanted to have at least three alternate costumes so I'm totally open to suggestions (as long as it's not a Disney Princess outfit.)



Here are my costumes for the robot. From top-left, you've got the original, samurai, Master Chief, Cubix, Optimus Prime, and Laputa robot. I wanted to put in a Roman soldier costume too, but I ran out of room. I had to have a samurai to complement the girl's ninja outfit (which is ironic since they were mortal enemies in real life).



Let me know what you guys think, and if I at least got you to laugh, then it was all worth it.

P.S. Clap if you know who Cubix is.

Wow, thanks gwolf, those are great!
Yes, both the Girl and the Robot will have at least have 1 alternate costume. I like the Ninja idea. Some of them, we don't have the copyrights but it's cool to think about. I'll discuss costumes later with Peet, our 3D artist.
