that would be the WORST

It worked in loads of other 2d platform games

o, i know, the knight can climb better and slash things out of the way, and he can also climb repunsels hair, but he can't jump as high as repunsel, so she could lead, and he climbs her hair. or mabie he climbs a rope that she can't climb and hits a swich to open stairs. some things he could slash would be spider webs, thick underbrush, ect. this would add some finding to the secret areas, because you made it too easy to find fake blocks in RE1. his sword starts weak, but you find sharpening stones which make it stronger (but the range doesnt improve, he hits like a skeleton warier from MR2)

GASP!
Mabye in one level they get seperated and you need to switch between them to push buttons and stuff! And for boss fights only one of them could get to the boss! I am so smart.. Sometimes...
