The Story:
Ivan the Bear is a loyal Teddy Bear who is loved by his owner, Rhian. Rhian loves Lollipops - however, so do all of Rhian's greedy toys. When Rhian leaves the room, her toys try to steal her lollipops. Ivan, the loyal bear, does not stand for this and tries to protect them.
Many years ago, Ivan stood up to the toys, but they ripped off all of his limbs - so now Ivan straps blades onto his stumps and launches himself at his greedy foes. Ivan is prepared to die protected these treasured Lollipops.Protect them or die trying!
Gameplay:
This is a new idea which I am planning to work on once I finish Blood Honey. I really want to make something that can be used on smartphones and this is one of my ideas. From my own mobile gaming experiences, I don't think that touch screen D-Pads work very well so I had to think of a more suitable way of controlling Ivan. Instead of the D-Pad, the player will have to swipe in the direction they want the to launch Ivan. Enemies will explode once hit and this will build momentum, causing the character to fly around the screen at a quicker pace and racking up combos.
The game's camera will remain static and enemies can emerge for either bottom right, top right, bottom left, top left or directly from above. They will try to steal the magical lollipop from the middle of the screen and the player will have to fling Ivan at them. Once the lollipop has been eaten, the game will be over. So you will have to last until Rhian arrives back at home.
This is still early days and the idea will need to be fleshed out, so there will be more to come.
