what would appeal to them?

action packed game which is purposed to give the players a short 5 minute burst of quick action. With this, the player will be put through a long 1 level game, possibly with increasing difficulty through tougher enemies or objects.

it could also be purposed through five 1 minute levels each with increasing difficulty resulting in the player understanding the basics of the game and then further developing the skills to continue to harder levels.

due to mild violence

good assets of the game include

points system

lives system

2D movement (up, down, left , right)

levels

unlimied levels

good assets include

level system

points system

colour palette change each level

unlimited levels until kill screen is reached

glitched levels

though are unintentional have proven to be a key aspect of the game on a competitive level

Due to old coding

difficulty system

As time progresses the blocks fall faster and faster

This timer will allow the user to play for 5 minutes at any given time as stated within the brief

The lives system will allow the user to have a certain amount of attempts before having to retry

Types of games

Will allow the player to see how close they are to losing a life gives the player a sense that the game life is limited and can easily be lost, a sense of difficulty

I am thinking of including a point system as then the player will be encouraged to try beat their previous score

Game theme/ background

Arctic

Tundra

Japanese

Mountains

Desert

Night Market

Sewers

Could include a snowy aspect for the background could incorporate weather conditions within the game that would effect the game character

Inspired by teenage mutant ninja turtles

Could include enemies such at rodents and other things that would suit the sewer environment

Mount Fuji could be incorporated within the game along with Japanese style characters like the popular hit game Street Fighter
