PAT is a cool game, but it have the highly community dependent feel.
I suggest to join a Discord to get more fun. We had a 3V3 experiences long time ago. We where 2 bad players, they put us in front of each other so we could have fun and they decided to beat us at the the very end of the game, when you need to. It was cool to play in such good mindset. I hope this game would continue, even as a niche.

I can’t help but I really hope you will get a cool game !
I can only recommend to quickly have a working prototype with 4p and a single character.
As a reference, not an open source game, but a cool demake: https://www.supersmashland.com/ this low scope game help Dan to have a nice skeleton for its later game Rivals of aether.
