Yaaaay, teeny update.
This is a new character I'm working on named Track and his partner, Ball. I decided Kyrodian Legends is too complex for now, so I'm working on a new project. This one's a parody of Mighty No. 9, and how close it came to ripping off Megaman without breaking copyright. It uses all the same naming conventions (Track and Ball as to Beck and Call as to Rock and Roll, all males ending in CK and all females in LL, Dr. Knight, Dr. Smiley, etc.), but instead of being just another game about running around shooting robots, it's more about fixing things. In fact, Track doesn't even have a gun; he has tools for repairing stuff, and a grappling harpoon for getting around. Ball is the one with the gun, and she guards Track when enemy robots get near, but has a limited amount of energy before she must recharge.
Metal dropped by enemy robots is used for material so Track can fix things. He can also break stage elements with his wrench to find additional metal, too. Fixing things is done by attaching power conduits, controlling the flow of steam, and various other hardware-related tasks. At the end of each level, the boss is a malfunctioning robot that Track must disable before fixing. Once its fixed, it will reward Track in the end game by helping him get into Dr. Smiley's fortress. Instead of gaining new weapons from robot masters, they act as temporary summons, and are used for bypassing things that Track and Ball themselves cannot overcome.
