Synopsis

  • Concept 1: a space themed game where the player has to keep the solar system free of aliens
    • The Scenario for the game will be that you have to defend your own solar System. This Solar System will be attacked by Aliens, which want to own your planets. The Player will sit in his Spaceship and has to hop from one Planet to the next and shoot the Planets free of Aliens. The difficulty is that you are able to only go one orbit up or down at the time. It is impossible to move freely in the Space between the Orbits, but you are able to move back and forth such that you don’t collide with the Planets. The Spaceship has a Cannon on Board which you can turn in the Direction you want and shoot at Aliens. The Aliens will come from every side of the Screen and will sit upon the Planets. You have then go around and free the hole system. If you don’t succeed and every Planet is completely in the hand of the Aliens, you have lost the game. Also, it is impossible to shoot from the one side of the Solar system to the other, because of the reach of the cannon. As the game moves on more and more Aliens will come and make the game harder to play.
