17	''Kyle & Lucy: Wonderworld'' is an upcoming 2D [[PlatformGame Platformer]] IndieGame.
18
19	One evening while out stargazing, Kyle Kitcat and Lucy Lovecat stumble upon a [[CoolGate magical doorway]]. Reaching just a little too far, Kyle and Lucy fall into the portal and find themselves in the [[MagicalLand realm known as Sunova]].
20
21	In Sunova, shooting stars are blessed by the ruler of the land, "Queen Theresa", granting the wishes of those [[MakeAWish who wish upon them]]. Stars that are not wished upon fall to the surface, becoming "[[MineralMacGuffin Mystical Orbs]]", gemstones of pure, magical energy. Seeing no alternative, Kyle and Lucy decide to search for Mystical Orbs to wish themselves back home. Unbeknownst to the two young felines, however, they are not the only ones searching for Mystical Orbs...

23	A three-stage demo was shown off at the [[https://sonicfangameshq.com/SAGE/ 2018 Sonic Amateur Games Expo]], which can be downloaded [[https://sonicfangameshq.com/forums/showcase/kyle-lucy-wonderworld.234/ here]].
24
25	At SAGE 2019, a three-stage {{prequel}} spinoff demo was released, titled ''Sondro Gomez: A Sunova Story''. It centers around Sondro Gomez -- a resident of Sunova who longs to leave his homeland to pursue his dream of becoming a musician -- collecting Mystic Orbs in order to pay off his debt to a mysterious being called "The Realtor". Unlike ''Kyle & Lucy'', which is a speed-based platformer in the vein of the classic Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog games, ''Sondro Gomez'' is an action-platformer in the vein of the classic Franchise/{{Castlevania}} games. It can be downloaded for free [[https://store.steampowered.com/app/1391680/Sondro_Gomez_A_Sunova_Story/ here]].

27	----
28	!!''Kyle & Lucy: Wonderworld'' provides examples of:
29
30	%%* CatsAreSnarkers: Kyle is described as a snarker in the official character art.
31	* CoolGate: Gameplay footage shows that Kyle and Lucy accidentally fall into a magical gateway at the start of the game. %%If there are doorways, add context for PortalDoor or TheLonelyDoor, as appropriate.
32	%%* DashAttack: Kyle's main attack has him burst forward and [[SpinAttack spin vertically]].
33	* DefeatEqualsExplosion: Demo shows all the robot enemies instantly blow up in a neat little explosion after getting defeated by Kyle and Lucy's attacks.
34	%%* DoubleJump: Lucy's main attack gives her an extra boost into the air and has her [[SpinAttack twirl horizontally]].
35	%%* {{Expy}}: With their similar character designs (one being a bird-robot and the other being a robot with a large drill in place of a nose) and roles in the story (bumbling minions of another, more prominent villain), Spike and Ballast are a dead ringer for Scratch and Grounder, from ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog''.
36	* FlashOfPain: Gameplay footage shows the current player character flash white for a couple of seconds after losing health.
37	%%* GottaCatchThemAll:
38	%%** The main collectibles in the game are the Mystic Orbs, which are awarded for completing a stage's objectives.
39	%%** Mystery Pins, which unlock character art, are also scattered around levels.
40	%%* HyperactiveMetabolism: Collecting cherries will restore health.
41	%%* InvincibilityPowerUp: Collecting a power-up will make Kyle and Lucy immune to harm and glow brightly for about a minute.
42	%%* MagicalLand: Sunova is an ancient world where magical energy literally falls from the sky, in the form of meteorites.
43	%%* MakeAWish: Kyle and Lucy's goal is to use the Mystical Orbs to wish themselves back home.
44	%%* MineralMacGuffin: The Mystical Orbs, which are fallen meteorites capable of granting wishes.
45	* RedOniBlueOni: An inverted example; Lucy in blue is the more adventure-seeking and less cautious than Kyle in red. The demo's intro thus shows that it is Lucy who first suggests they go to the ruins where they find the portal to the Wonderworld (while Kyle cautiously recalls the legends but disbelieves them), and then reaches too far and ends up falling in, with Kyle attempting to pull her back but failing and tumbling in straight after her. Their in-game expressions also match this behaviour.
46	* RollingAttack: Demo shows that when moving fast, Kyle and Lucy can crouch down to cover themselves in flames and coast forward on their momentum.
47	* SpikesOfDoom: Tall metallic spikes are seen early on in the demo. Falling on them produces a comedic "pin" sound and also takes off one segment of the health bar out of four.
48	* SpinAttack: Gameplay footage shows that both Kyle and Lucy's attacks involve spinning: Kyle's vertically, Lucy's horizontally.
49	* TrappedInAnotherWorld: The premise has Kyle and Lucy trapped in a "Wonderworld" after falling through a portal seen in the intro footage. Though, later scenes in the demo reveal that the world is known by its inhabitants as Sunova.
50	* WallCrawl: Demo shows that Kyle and Lucy can sink their claws into walls to climb up them. They can still use their RollingAttack while climbing, as well.
51	%%* WreathedInFlames: Kyle and Lucy have the ability to burst into flames when running at top speed. Doing so will allow them to run through enemies without taking damage, and open alternate pathways.
52
53	!!''Sondro Gomez: A Sunova Story'' features the following tropes:
54	* AbilityRequiredToProceed: In the SAGE 2023 demo, Sondro must obtain powerups like a pair of wings or a spiked boot to proceed further into levels. Juania can get a shotgun and a machinegun instead, which allow her to get extra airtime in jumps by aiming downwards and firing. Spike and Ballast, on the other hand, have no need for items and can get around with their own abilities and special attacks.
55	* AnotherSideAnotherStory: The SAGE 2023 demo features two alternate story modes with exclusive levels and bosses. A gunslinger named Juania follows her cousin Sondro out of concern that his quest might be a trap, and the robot pair of Spike and Ballast are presented in a heroic light as they look for the Mystic Orbs.
