Background
The game is set hundreds of years in the future, when Earth has just been destroyed by an Alien race. Humanity is virtually extinct, except for one survivor (player) who just managed to escape annihilation on a military spacecraft and is now headed for the home planet of the aliens responsible in search of revenge.
The Challenge
The challenge will be to recreate that of a typical hoard mode top down shooter. The game will focus on a single protagonist who’s sole purpose is to survive as long as possible by killing continuous waves of enemy opponents. The game will implement a system where the player can upgrade their weapons and pick up new weapons/ammo/specials as they progress. Due to the nature of the game there is no end/final level, you are simply trying to achieve the highest score by surviving for the longest/killing the most enemies. As such the game should be challenging and entertaining enough that it can be replayed and capture returning players that want to beat their high score.
Who’s it for
The main target groups are fans of top down shooters, freemium gamers, computer and game enthusiasts and casual gamers. Based on its nature, it will appeal more to male players between the age range of 8-21.
