Hi Gentleman and Ladies
After releasing couple of free apps on AppStore i thought its time to dwell into game development. Last week i bought graphic tools like Aseprite and started watching pixel art tutorials. Same time also started to learn basics for unity and flame game engines.
I watched some videos on youtube about games that were released between 1980s and 2000 and took me about 4 hours. Out of about 2500 games clips i watched, i found two ideas. Now that still may not be best idea but i think it is pretty cool to invest my time to design and develop.
Today i am sharing the first inspired idea. So this game i call it "Text Archer" for now. .. your character has to shoot balloons to make crate(with alphabets) fall on the ground in a bid to make words (cough scrabble vibes) . If you hit the balloon the alphabet will fall down if you hit crate it will be destroyed. The goal is to get your desired alphabets to reach bottom to be able to successfully make a number of n letter words and clear the stage.
To make things interesting - there will be bombs and joker tied to balloon. If. a bomb reaches ground - yes you get it.. will explode the word you already in progress of making.
Time to time to keep your character even busier a crow flies through ( think ice climber retro game). That crow will kill you if touches you.
I am thinking if the character can make any n letter word to clear the stage or every stage has riddle questions and you have to make word to answer that riddle. (that may be too much challenging .. may be assign a hard level difficulty for certain players)
Let me know what you think. I appreciate your feedback.
