Hero Factory

It's dangerous to go alone.  BUY SOMETHING.

Square tiles
Heros that march
Items

It's like a Chu-chu Rocket with better puzzles and less hectic.


Each of our heroes will have three hearts over their head.

Items:
Road Signs - Tell the hero which direction to take at an intersection.  They will cut the sign down if they have a sword.
Bombs - A hero with bombs has a command "Bomb".  The hero will drop a bomb where it stands.  The bomb will explode in 3 seconds.
Sword - A hero with a sword will cut down anything it can that stands in its way.  It will cut tall grass that it could otherwise not go through.
Lantern - A hero with a torch will burn down anything it can that stands in its way.
Grapple-Hook - A hero with grapple hook can pull items towards himself, and can vault himself over gaps.
Shield - A hero with a shield can block incoming attacks and projectiles in front of him.
Bow - A hero with a bow has a command "Shoot".  The hero will shoot an arrow forward.
Keys - YESHSHSHSHSHSHS
Red Potion - This hero can temporarily survive extremely hot temperatures
Blue Potion - This hero can temporarily walk over water
Yellow Potion - This hero can temporarily push heavy objects
Magic Wand & Magic Staff - Like a portal gun but two different heroes are needed to hold the items and create the openings.  They open "Warps".  In some levels, there will be built in Warps and you only get a Wand or Staff.

Heroes will march on a set path given in the level.
They can deviate if the player sets them on a different way.
Once a hero gets an item he will use it at the first moment he can
You can tell your heroes to stop.
The heroes are grouped to begin with, and they stop and go as a group.
When they receive an item, they are considered part of their own group and they'll venture off on their own.
Whenever a hero can use its item, it does.
Items that you would like the hero to pick up must be placed in a treasure chest.
Heroes prefer to walk forward, clockwise, counter-clockwise, and failing those they'll turn around.
<<<<<<< HEAD
Heroes prefer to walk on light grass, then dark grass, then sand/road/bridges
When a hero in front of another hero stops, that hero stops too.
The maps are made up of 16x12 chunks that are connected by bridges, doors, pathways, etc. 
=======
The whole game runs on a certain cadence that is very natural.  There is a rhythm to solving the puzzles.
