For this theme, we had 3 weeks to complete a prototype based around teamwork, and I ultimately went for a simple level in Unreal Engine with 2 playable characters working with each other to explore a temple structure with doors and platforms programmed like a team based mechanic. Here is the video below. Enjoy.
P.S. The key I pressed to switch characters was mapped to the C key to easily memorize the button layout.
