Polygon has secured a few new details about co-op play in 1001 Spikes.

Up to four people can join in on the fun. A total of 1,000 lives are available in a collective pool, though that number can be increased by obtaining relics in some stages. Nabbing one of these will increase the lives total by 50.

Polygon also confirms that friendly fire is enabled.

As far as the gameplay itself goes, you’ll be in search of a key which must be obtained in order to exit levels.

Polygon recently published a new Child of Light preview with new details about the upcoming downloadable game. Read on below for the information, plus comments from writer Jeffrey Yohalem.

– Combat system has traditional elements but has a twist
– Game rewards clever thinking over button-pushing dexterity
– One level takes place in a subterranean network of caves back with big spiders and three-legged archers
– One player can play as Aurora while another controls the floating spark sidekick Igniculus
– Head through the caves and battle enemies
– Combat system based largely on the system from Grandia 2
– Sneak up on enemies in order to gain an advantage in battle
– Can attack first if you drop on enemies from above or behind
– Battles are set on several raised platforms
– Platforms were inspired by the designs of opera sets
– Bar at the bottom screen tracks the amount of time between each combatant’s attack
– Small pictures of each combatant will move along the bar as they prepare to attack
– At the end of the bar is a smaller bar colored red
– Characters that are attacked while their picture is in the red zone will have their attack “interrupted”
– This resets their charging time and starting them over from the beginning of the bar
– Dialogue is structured like an epic ballad
– Every second and fourth line in its poem-like structure rhyme
– Yohalem wrote the first 10 pages of the script before he realized it “had to be a poem”
– He then decided to write the script directly into poem format

Shin’en is advising fans to watch tomorrow’s European Nintendo Direct. The company posted the following message on Twitter just a short while ago:

If I was a guessing man, I’d surmise that FAST Racing Neo and/or Jett Rocket II will be featured on tomorrow’s presentation.
