| "Its
aliens, and attacking" (Koworld)
I've been visited by a game idea too. Sarah
woke me up this morning at 6:00 but then I fell asleep again.
And you know that is the time where you tend to dream quite lucidly?
Well I did, and what I dreamed of was this:
You have rows of baddies, I'm calling them 'aliens'
for the sake of the design doco. These rows move from one side
of the screen to the other, when they get to the other all the
lines of 'aliens' drop down one. They also get a bit faster. They
also drop 'missiles' down. If the lines of 'aliens' eventually
reach the bottom of the screen then you are dead.
But there's a twist. You, who I like to refer
to as 'player 1' have a sort of movable gun thing that you can
move horizontally across the screen. Your gun thing stays on the
very bottom line of the screen. You can shoot 'missiles' out of
the gun. If a 'missile' hits an 'alien' then that alien disappears
and you also get some points for having 'shot' that 'alien'. Likewise,
if one of the 'aliens' 'missiles' 'hits' your 'gun' then you lose
a 'life'. You start with 'three lives'.
There's another twist, and this is the
genius part, on a line above your 'gun' but below the 'aliens'
are some solid 'bases'. You can hide under these so called 'bases'.
But, aha, and here's the final twist, these 'bases' are eroded
by your 'missiles' and by the 'aliens' missiles. So you can't
hide forever.
