## About This Game

Guiding Light is a cooperative game in which you and a friend work for the
Intergalactic Crash Unit. It’s your job to rescue stranded aliens from all
kinds of sticky situations. One player is an alien who goes down to the planet
to execute the rescue operation, while the other pilots the UFO to help guide
the alien on the ground.
Using your different points of view and abilities you need to work together to
complete your rescue mission.

To successfully execute these operations, communication is key. Guiding Light
emphasizes co-op gameplay by requiring the need for teamwork and
communication between players to be able to progress through the game. Both
players have different points of view, information, and abilities which are
all needed to successfully complete the rescue operations.

One of the two roles to fulfill is the alien. This player goes down to the
ground and is expected to platform through foreign planets to get to stranded
aliens who need to be beamed up to the UFO.
The alien plays from a first-person perspective, and can interact with
buttons, levers and can pick up smaller objects to build some stairs or
activate a pressure plate.

The other player is the UFO and is, quite literally, the guiding light for the
alien. The UFO can fly through the level and provides information to the
alien. Because of its different point of view, the UFO has a more complete
grasp on the situation but needs to communicate with the alien to know what is
going on on the ground.
The UFO has a light ray on board, which can be used to help the alien with
vision and reveal items and objects they would not be able to see by
themselves. The UFO can also lift and move heavier objects to help the alien
traverse the terrain and reach the end goal.
