I think the idea of changing partners sounds cool. It even looks pretty nice.
But...
The whole Kickstarter presentation is 1:1 Yooka Laylees. They´re saiying, it´s inspired, but...no.
Just take the Yooka Laylee presentation, changing colors and some word´s is not an inspiration at all.
The game itself looks and sounds pretty cool, but there is a bad taste to it, when i´m on their Kickstarter Page. I mean, come on guys! Even the reward and "where goes the money" thing looks like a bootleg. :S
There is even a "playhouse demo reward"...
But enogh rant, to be honest, i will have an eye on this, because it do looks like fun to me.

"Untwerwegs in Düsterburg" an great Adventure, full of sarcasm, humor and adventuring!
