Will levels be made so that you have to use both characters (again, think the Lost Vikings), or will it simply be encouraged?
And as for me, I'm an okay pixel artist (and getting experienced at flash spriting too), but I can't animate fire at all.

- Switching will be done via a "rest stop" point at the middle of each level (this "rest stop" also serves as a checkpoint.)
- The other chatacter will vanish.
- Characters will not share health (3 HP each), so if you're near dead with one, you can simply switch back to the other. Collecting health pickups if you're at full health will not heal your ally, so if you want to use them, you must backtrack to the rest stop.
- Some levels will require the use of both characters (hopefully), but most should only require the use of one specific character. I'm not sure how I'll implement it, because I haven't worked out the character's powers yet (Icey may have more "melee" style attacks, e.g. sliding, whereas Firey will focus around ranged attacks, e.g. lava bullets).
