This task involves implementing animals as playable characters in the game, enhancing their interactivity beyond just displaying animations from sprites. The goal is to create a more immersive and diverse gameplay experience by allowing players to control various animal characters, each with unique abilities and characteristics. This includes implementing movement, attack patterns, and special abilities for each animal type, as well as integrating them seamlessly into the existing game mechanics.
Example
Animal Playability: Players can choose from a variety of animals (e.g., rat, boss animals) as their playable character. Each animal will have unique movement, attack styles, and special abilities (AOE) that reflect their natural characteristics.
Interactivity: Animals will interact with the environment and other characters in ways that are distinct from human characters such as communicating with animals or alternatively act as the player character to defeat other animals.
