Mirror Shards

Mirror Shards is a 2D umbrella fighter acting as a revival of Downfall. It introduces a faction mechanic which is explored further later on, as well as alternate weapons and the titular Mirror Shards. The premise is heavily inspired by the Divergent book series.

Gameplay
Mirror Shards is a 2D fighter game drawing inspiration from the Super Smash Bros. series. In order to defeat your opponent, you must "shatter" them. Once you attack an opponent enough, they will appear cracked. The more cracked you are, the weaker you are. Getting hit enough will shatter you, thus losing a life.

Upon collecting the titular Mirror Shards, you are given the option to save it for later, heal, use it defensively or to build up your Reflection meter. Choosing to defend will surround you with a mirrorine barrier that reflects attacks. It fades after a period of time or can be shattered. Once your Reflection meter is filled, you can unleash a powerful attack that differs between every character. Mirror Shards serve an additional purpouse in the story mode, in that they act as portals.

As well as choosing a character, you must also choose a weapon to equip. Each weapon has unique properties and play very differently. An element is assigned to each as well, with each having a strength and weakness.

As well as serving a huge role in the story mode, Factions have a purpouse in regular battles. Characters from the same faction are stronger when working together, and those from rivaling factions deliver more powerful blows on each other. Furthermore, team attacks are only available between characters from the same faction.
