Phases of the Tutorial Level
Part I: Basic Controls
- Explanation of how the players can move in terms of walking, jumping.
- Both players will see each other on their screen, one at the ceiling, one at the bottom
Part II: Gravity Shift
- Explanation of how the players can interact with each other through the Gravity Shift.
- The tutorial level will provide an item like a box. The players will have to move it to the ceiling by shifting gravity.
- They will learn how to vote for a Gravity Shift (explanation window will appear) and how they can work with it.
Part III: Riddles
- Both players will have to stand on a pressure plate simultaneously, so they can get the first spaceship part.
Part IV: Gadgets
- Both players will find special gadgets for each character, which they can play with.
- This part of the tutorial level is more like sandbox ('relaxing' phase), where the players can mess around without any impact on the game's progress.
Part V: Enemies
- Explanation of the enemy's abilities and which character can kill which enemy.
- Each player will have to fight a different enemy, learning that they cannot fight all types of enemies.
Conclusion: Every part combined will create a so called 'Game Flow', where both players will be consistently immersed in focussing challenges, intrigues, relaxations with cut scenes and victories.
Relaxation phases are give to the player through both the monologue given by the foreign friendly alien and the cutscenes presented at the end of each level.
Each level is themed in different colors, sounds, challenges, less time available and different gravity states.
