Discuss and propose an entirely new game, based on the visuals and the theme of Koi Pond (ã Blimp Pilots 2008)
Proposed Title: King Koi
Genre: Leisure/Casual Gaming
Target Market: 10+
Narrative/Story: You play as a fish trying to collect enough food to get through the days, striving against both predators and competitors to eke out an existence
Game play: (make sure to define the hardware controls and its functionality within the game - touch screen, shake and tilt)
Evade predators while collecting a certain number of “food pellets” to “level up”, with alternating day and night levels. Number of pellets required to advance remains constant, but as level increases, number of pellets decreases, while number of predators increases. One has a number of ripples to drive off predators/competitors, decreasing with level.
Competitors (other koi): can eat your food pellets, can also be eaten by predators
Predator (bird): Appears as a shadow that slowly gets bigger, if it touches the fish, then game over
Predator (snapping turtle): The predator in the lake, meandering around
Options: Number of Competitors, Number of Food Pellets to advance, Starting number of pellets, Sound FX, Day/Night start
Controls: Touch-- “Ripple”, Tilt--direction and “altitude”
Graphic User Interface elements: (be specific on what they are, and where they appear on the display/screen)
Number of Food Pellets Eaten/Needed – upper left
Number of Ripples left – Upper Right
Lives Remaining: Top Center
Colors: Player Koi – red, Competitor Koi – white, Snapping turtle – dark green/brown, Bird shadow - “black”
