Creative Brief

Gameplay

Genre: 3D speed running, platformer

Number of players: Single player

Game mechanics:

• Player must maintain the character’s size without shrinking or growing too much
• Can move around freely, jump, double jump, wall jump.
  • Wall jump continuously where possible
  • Double jump can be refreshed when in contact with the ground
  • Cannot run up steep surfaces

• Three types of surfaces:
  • Regular surface: does nothing
  • Grow surface: increases player’s size over time
  • Shrink surface: decreases player’s size over time
• Something that instantly kills the player on contact (potentially a laser beam or surface)
• Special collectables that are hidden or placed in hard to find areas. These are required to unlock the next level.

Overall experience: The game aims to make the player feel fast, nimble, and reflexive. The player is able to perform different types of jumps and must quickly navigate his/her character onto desirable surfaces. The game is fast-paced.

Fun elements:

• 3D Platforming
• Unique movement mechanics
• Sense of speed, fast-paced gameplay
• Replayability (Players can retry levels to get a higher score)
• Creative shortcuts by navigating the terrain using movement mechanics
• Collectibles
• Multiple paths/ways to complete a level
