CO-OP CRATE COMBUSTION

Spin up a Godot 4.4 project, import the assets, and get a 3D scene on screen with lighting and a camera.

Write CharacterBody3D movement: gravity, jumping, and turning the character to face where it walks.

Wire up an AnimationTree state machine so the player switches between Idle, Walk, Jump, and Land.

Add custom input actions and a second player so two people can play on one keyboard.

Make levers that react when a player steps on them, using Area3D detection, a toggle animation, and signals.

Hook lever signals up to crates that blow apart with queue_free().

Drop hazard boxes that squash a player and reload the level when they do.

Build an exit that only opens when both players reach it at the same time.

Set up an autoload singleton that fades between scenes instead of snapping to them.

Make reusable tile scenes with StaticBody3D and snap them to a grid as you build.

Lay out the tutorial level so it teaches each mechanic one at a time.

Build a tougher level that throws every mechanic at both players at once.

Add particles, sound, and UI, then look at ways to take the game further.
