Genre
"Warrior Jump" is a third-person Plaformer / Endless Runner / Survival game.
Story
You play as a highly-skilled warrior that has a fear of heights. Aliens captured you, and now you are trying to find a way out. You see the exit and bolt your way out. You run for your life but you forget that you're still in the sky. You must jump from one platform to the next, but it won't be easy as you have to watch out for obstacles that may interfere with your path while you are running/jumping. You must react fast and be cautious with your decision making as one wrong move can cost you your life.
How to Play
The goal of the game is to move from one platform to the next while constantly moving forward. You use your weapon to defeat them before moving onto the next platform (some creatures require more hits/strikes than others). If the creature does so happen to get near you and attack, it will decrease your health (you can see how much “life” you have left on the HUD (Heads-Up display).
You're trying to beat your high score each time you play, but it won’t be easy as you must overcome obstacles.
You will also have the chance to collect points, this will then boost your score at the end of the game.
Target Audience
"Warrior Jump" is a game intended for ages 8 years and up due to minor violence.
Platform
This game will be made with Unity3D, the 2018 version. This game is built to be played on PCs or Apple Macs.
Look and Feel
The game will look simple enough. The game is based in the sky, therefore it won't have much scenery. The platforms will be made out of rock. The fast paced moving platforms will make the game more difficult and challenging, this will make the player feel intense.
