Level Design Features
Each level requires the players to strategically choose their characters, as the levels are designed to be played only with a specific combination of multiple characters.

Design Intentions
- Player Agency — the game is relatively player-driven, with room for the player to make interesting choices.
- Player Intentionality — allowing the player to make conscious choices with specific goals and expectations in mind rather than forcing a specific scripted approach.
- Interesting map layouts, gating, and structure.
- Encourage teamwork and coordination between players.
- Giving players the freedom to come up with creative strategies to finish the mission.
- Non-linearity in terms of routes that the player can take.
- Having multiple solutions to a problem.
- Condensed and self-explanatory map layouts involving both interiors and exteriors.
