Assignment

Concept

JUMP!

This is a game in which you simply keep jumping up. You can only press Space to jump left and right alternately in order to dodge obstacles. The higher you go, the higher score you get.

Genre:

Puzzle

Creation:

In the beginning I thought about making a 2D top down horror game where you explore a lab of Supernatural objects/creatures. I got this idea from SCP, backrooms, Lobotomy Corporation. However, it would be too much work for 6 weeks. The map design will be super time-consuming, and the assets will be another big problem.

Another idea was about fighting enemies while not facing them. You can only hit enemies by bullet ricochet. There were two options: 1. you can't have enemies in your sight when shooting. 2. you can only hit the enemies after the bullet ricochets for a certain number of times. I got this idea from the game Please Don't Touch The Laser.

In the end, I decided to make this jumping game. It's super super simple compared to my other ideas. However, it can be SIMPLE FUN. With a simple structure, I can have more time to spend on the graphics and extra content, like some pickup point which can slow time down on the way. Not yet decided, but I'll consider about it after finishing the base structure of the game.

Audience:

This game will have a HIGH SCORE which is how high you can go. It will be more difficult (more obstacles, bigger, [moving?]) as you jump up. It won't be a super big game, so nobody should expect 3A graphics from it. It is only for those people who want to kill time. This is an assignment game, so there won't be any server where you can see other people's high scores. If this is a real game for sale, there will be.
