Meet the members of The Bird Watching Club:
Mac - Mac’s the new kid in town. He can throw his yo-yo to create trampoline platforms and grapple points to help himself and others get to new heights. He can also see into the memories of Newton’s past to discover new secrets and untold history.
Tess - As the leader of the bunch, Tess plans out all of the bird watching club’s missions. She can use her magic to turn into a ghost and shoot quick projectiles from her spell wheel. As a ghost, she can phase through walls and hover over long distances. You can bounce her projectiles off of walls to hit precise targets.
Lemon - Lemon is the brawn of the group. Use her strong punches and dive kicks to bust your way through any obstacle. While she may seem tough on the outside, she’s really the most reliable member.
Phil - The smartest of the gang, Phil is always quick to find clues and point the others in the right direction. He uses his water magic to shoot water bubbles and transform into a fish. This allows him to breathe underwater and swim with ease.
Coal - Phil’s cat, Coal, likes to follow the group wherever they go. He can fit into tight spaces and climb up walls to reach places the others can’t.
