Game Design

Objective

Game where you are chased by a ghost in the dark. Run and survive as long as you can. The longer you live, the further you’ll run and more points you’ll achieve. Watch out for obstacles. The path will get spookier as you proceed.

Gameplay Mechanics

This will be a single player infinite side scroller game. Key aspect of this game will be graphics and animation. This game will also include immersive audio and device vibration pattern that will make the player more connected to the character. Power ups (lightbulbs and lantern) will be provided to the player along the path as the game will darker and harder making the gameplay tougher and interesting for the player. Regular lanterns will eliminate ghost and obstacles in the way for 3-5 secs and will light the world by 30%-50%. The player can collect 12 lightbulbs to create super lantern that eliminate ghosts and obstacles for 5-8secs and will light up world by 100%.

Level Design

Since this is a side scroller game, it will not have level that a player needs to pass but as the game proceeds the gameplay will get darker and harder. The game starts at the dusk and slowly proceeds towards night. After certain number of steps ran, the game difficulty will increase with more tougher obstacle like quicksands, leach pit, sticky path, etc. Falling in this track means slow user movement.
