Game ideas

game ideas:

1. Super Cubicle Adventure - player is in a swivel chair that controls like minigolf - push off with feet to slide. You're an IT worker in a cubicle bouncing around floors of an office, fixing computers without leaving your swivel chair.  

• Just have to enter a certain radius of the person needing help to auto fix their computer
• Enter each level via the elevator with a certain number of moves to reach everyone needing help. Wood floor speeds you up, thick carpet slows you down.
• Each floor has the same basic shape but different layout (different floors in same building)
• Drink coffee for more moves!
• Some obstacles move and bounce you around - eg janitor with floor polisher. 
• Funny dialogue as a reward for fixing computers?

Target Audience: People who liked the IT Crowd, minigolf fans, casual gamers.

Goal for prototype: multiple working levels, obstacles, functional physics (ie - bounce of walls, etc)

2. Velociraptors Vs Reenactors - player is a Redcoat reenactor with a single-shot musket, assailed by dinosaurs. Looks like a top-down twin-stick shooter but plays like a puzzle game, as you only have 1 shot per level. You have to try to get the enemies to line up (forcing them to go around obstacles, etc), playing like an action game won’t work.

Target Audience: People who like fast-paced puzzle games,  mobile gamers (short play sessions), 

Goal for prototype: multiple working example levels, starting easy and adding more dinosaurs to ramp up difficulty

3. Twisty tracks - an out-of-control train is headed towars a junction full of tracks - you have to pull the correct levers to switch to the right tracks to get it in safely without hitting any obstacles and without taking too-steep a turn that could topple your engine.  Top down, mouse-controlled game, based around working out quickly what the right switches to flip are

Target Audience: Puzzle gamers, train fanatics

Goal for prototype: multiple working example levels, basic physics with the train (speeding up down hills, toppling on sharp corners)
