After watching some buddies of mine play co-op, I made a few changes:

- Drop shadows, which are really just there to look cool
- More traditional platformer physics. The original game had Mega Man style physics as I did not know how to do things like friction at the time; these new, looser physics feel a bit better and have more natural jumps
- A new powerup known as the Stopper Watch, which slows down the entire level for a few seconds. This effect is actually very complex, and in order to pull it off, I had to basically make the player and level objects run at two different framerates. Don't think I won't milk this effect for all it's worth in the sequels!
- It isn't shown here, but some adjustments have been made to the co-op mode. The camera will pause for a second after a player dies or enters a bubble to give you time to react, and it moves a bit more naturally.
