I'm thinking of making a sidescrolling platform game with a couple of RPG elements added in. The basic game involves just a main character who can run, jump, and shoot. Aside from this, however, there are Partner Characters who follow him around. One key allows you to use the partner's ability--useful both for getting through certain obstacles (breaking through walls, floating over dangerous terrain, evading attack by disappearing) as well as for combat. The RPG element comes in with a menu you can bring up that allows you to select from the Partners' Techs. Each Partner Character has 3 Techs. To use these Techs, you need to fill up portions of the TP Gauge by destroying enemies w/ regular attacks. The Techs have various effects, such as...

- modifying your main character in some way (i.e. increasing your attack range, allowing you to attack more quickly, reducing damage taken by enemies)
- attacking one specific enemy (particularly helpful for certain boss fights)
- attacking all enemies on the screen
- attacking a certain area on the screen
- restoring your health
