Development

Game Idea:

Dream sequence where you’re trying to prevent yourself from waking up. Winning: didn’t wake up, losing: you were woken up by the alarm.

• Character:
  • Girl with hands for hair - attack using the hair
  • There's 2 states:
    • Normal: walking, can attack with hair
    • Enhanced: flying,  cannot attack
• Enemy:
  • Clocks: when touched, drains timer faster, and also makes a horrible noise.
• Key:
  • A snooze button - opens gate, stops timer from draining.
• Exit:
  • A portal that appears once the key is collected, enter to get to the next level.

Have a time based design - if you cannot escape before the time runs out, you lose. No health, you lose time if you take damage.

Have a tutorial level that can guide the player through the level

Game Testing Insight:

• There was a gap in the boarder, and the player can fall through on level 4 in one spot.
• The boarder is invisible, so it is not intuitive, should have a fog of war or something similar to make it more intuitive.
• Some tiles can be travelled through, but does not look so, so make it more visible and different.
• Certain parts of the level are slightly hard, maybe try to reduce difficulty.
• If you die, it resets to the first level, maybe have a level selection system and reset to the same level to make it easier.
