Game Brief

Game Brief

Idea: Potatoe Dash 

Potatoe Points are the currency of the game, the potatoes are worth the same amount of points as the level your on, if you're on level 7, the potatoes will be worth 7 points each. Potatoe Points are used to upgrade your Trolley, the upgrades you can get are style, and boosts, which will assist you later on in the game. After completing the game there will be an endless Arcade Mode that you can play, and the following Boost Upgrades are as listed below
Speed * * * * *
Speed influences how fast you can move, and how fast you can outrun the evil JANETTE'S, the levels are also timed, so the faster you can move the faster you can complete the level that you're playing.- Stability * * * * *
In the levels you collect what are called potatoes, the potatoes are the currency of the game, and how you upgrade your trolley, as-well as customizing your trolley to make it look cooler.
Jump * * * * *
Jump will come in use later on in the game when the evil JANETTE's start to appear and you have to jump over them, however as a trolley technically cannot jump it's more flying for a few seconds because it defies the laws of gravity, and the trolley isn't an ordinary trolley. Also there will be obstacles later on that you have to jump over, HOWEVER depending on your jump level you may only be able to jump twice during that level, especially if that level is a hard one and requires you to think whether you should jump or save it for later on in that level.
Rocket * * * * *
BOOST BOOST BOOST! THE ROCKET is an awesome feature on this trolley, man is this spec'd out or WHAT! The Rocket will be super handy whenever a slope/ramp appears to get to the other side of the ridge and a normal jump wouldn't make it, so you'd use the rocket, go "NYOOM" up the ramp, and jump in midair because the trolley is a law defying trolley and make it to the other side safely!
Spud Gun * * * * *
Are those evil JANETTE's getting in your way and you don't feel like wasting a jump on them? Fear no more, the spud gun can clear your path, just tap the "Spud" icon, and it will shoot a potatoe at the evil JANETTE making her go "poof" into nothing, however this does deduct a potatoe from your currency every time you use it, so use it wisely! Unless you have like a million potatoes then blast away.

Upgrades have Tiers.- Below Average Trolley Tier (One Star) - Average Trolley Tier (Two Star)- Better Trolley Tier (Three Star)- How Is This Possible Trolley Tier (Four Star)- Holy Trolley Tier (Five Star)The tiers are shown as stars, which are grey when they've not been purchased, but upon purchase they become a rainbow color.





Sprites

Player - Trolley 
Enemies - JANETTE - if she get's you, you basically die, and have to start the level from the beginning again.
Terrain - Grass - Mud - Stone - Rock - Clouds - Sun - Moon
Obstacles - Rock - Tower - 
Currency/Collectible - Potatoes to go into the trolley, the holy potatoe that finishes the level.


Sounds

The Games main tune/song - Song: The X-Files Theme in a Major Key
Death Sound - Not Decided Yet
JANETTE Death Sound - Not Decided Yet
Rocket - Not Decided Yet
Spud Gun - Not Decided Yet

The amount of levels that the game has, has not been decided yet, however I'm planning on roughly doing 1 - 10 being easy levels, 11- 20 being medium levels, and 21 - 30 being hard, and making level 31 the hardest level there is including the boss JANETTE, however there is also an endless Arcade Mode which you can play until you die, collecting infinite amounts of potatoes.

My Target Audience is anyone above the age of 6, and gender doesn't matter, you can be male or female to enjoy Potatoe Dash.
