Player Experience Goals:
Experience a difficult action game feature projectile-physics based weaponry. Players will have to weave through enemy attacks while also using their movement to affect a trajectory to hit their target.
Genre:
Action
Game play:
Left and right arrows move character left and right, spacebar is jump, up is throw kitten. Wipe out the invading alien force to win.
Prototype goal:
My original idea for the crazy cat lady game was to make something somewhat reminiscent of Super Ghouls and Ghosts (despite never having played it myself), however I ran our of time to consider enemy AI and I had stumbled upon something simplistic that was still fun. This time, though, I am returning to fulfill, to some extent, my original vision with enemies sporting multiple AIs. I only wish that I had left myself time to come up with a unique movement algorithm for the boss. Instead, it brings difficulty in its shooting pattern and ability to resurrect other aliens.
Setting/Premise:
Aliens have invaded your town; you must save your town with nothing but an army of kittens at your disposal (because who doesn't have an emergency box of kittens in case of alien invasion?)
Target Audience:
Fans of action games and those who always wanted to throw kittens at aliens.
Play time:
Depending on the players skill, it could take several minutes. The last level has some difficult jumps that give players some trouble.
Strategies:
Try to take out the aliens before they fire too many shots as dodging bullets can quickly get out of hand.
