1. Genre: Platform
Age range: 8+
“Jeremy is an alien visitor from an unknown planet, he crash lands on Earth and is
taken prisoner by the FBI to Area 51. Jeremy is a peaceful being, and does not carry
any weapons, so he must use his wits and agility to escape the FBI and call for help
to escape.”
The game is split into three levels, two on Earth and one in space.
Jeremy and the guards will have a slight round look to them so they don’t look
completely 2D.
The game is in 2D. We are going for a look that we believe to be a cross between
Super Mario, Donkey Kong, and Snakes and Ladders.
The controls for the game will be very easy, as it is for PC/Mac it will utilize the
WASD control system; A&D for forward and back, W for jumping over stuff such
the guards’bullets, laser traps, and climbing up ladders, and S for going down a
ladder.
The game will be fairly challenging so we believe there
is no need for a difficulty setting. The main challenge
in the game is to avoid the enemy patrolling guards by
jumping over them. The game will have a Snakes and
Ladders feel in the sense that you must move along
platforms, watch enemy guard patrol patterns, and
use ladders to climb up and down. Jeremy is not
strong enough to fight the guards so you must avoid
them.
2. Jeremy must also use his intelligence to solve puzzles that are set in his way.
Jeremy has a special ability that grants him three extra lives over the course of
the game, if he is killed he will respawn slightly further back in the level at a safe
point, once all three extra lives are used up however, the game will restart from
the beginning of the level and Jeremy will have no extra lives until you start a
New Game.
