Started out with gestures of core mechanics that interact with environment.
The weight seems like the hand should pull her around to jump not the hand following after she jumps,but then tested out the hand pulling and it seems abit off,I think the first one feels better.
Too grapple like,less weight and not much movement in Bronze.
Tried out a grab and throw with the hand.
Was suggested to time the hand to fall after the rock.Will try something like that later.
Tried out the grapple options
General thoughts:
Game could be 2d or 2.5D,The reason I would not use 3D is that the hand mechanic would need auto target if it was in 3D space.
2D is what I am comfortable with as well.
If the hand doesn't look right it could be 3D as long as it fits in with the aesthetic.
Bronze could be 2D and the nhand could be 3D
Or possible both 3D but in a 2D plane of gameplay similar to double dragon neon or abe's odyssey .
