So the game has a third person mode, a side scroller mode, and a top-down mode. I haven't made UI or enemies yet...

As for the UI, I have no clue what it should look like at the moment, except that Superbird will have a health bar and a magic bar. No EXP, but it will have stats (you have to find hidden items to "level up")

First game doesn't have much magic, but will have some. You really don't get a lot of spells until the second game.

Anyway, this is all I have so far. It's still in the prototyping stages so don't expect too much yet.
