The game draws strong inspiration from the survival-adventure spirit of Jumanji storyline, with the where characters are trapped into a dangerous, unpredictable game world filled with escalating challenges. Similarly, this game places the player inside a magical game world where they get stuck into. it is a big jungle realm they must escape by overcoming trials, defeating creatures. To return to reality, the player must conquer different regions (Scorching wilds - hot region; Frozen Platau - cold region) to find the sacred key, which is the only way to unlock the final gate
- Player moves using W/A/S/D keys
- Player hit spaceBar to start a Sword swinging
- If player can gain ability as they progress deeper in the region and collect the crystal and fire-torch item; hit J (first ability) or K (second ability)
- Player starts playing after the FallingDownToEarthState, meaning they just get pulled to this mysterial game world.
- Player has 3-lives, meaning they can be dead and revive, the FallingDownToEarthState comes in to play again.
- If Player dead and have no lives left, they lose and game over.
- Player can discover the map to find our the mini boss to get the key so he can progress to another regions, and finally meet the big boss.
- Player escape the game world once they are holding the key enter the escape gate.
- Player can kill creatures and big boss with his abilities.
- His initial ability can be good for easy creatures, but can be not efficient or not sufficient for later regions and the big boss as it can take long or harder. Futher development:
- Since we have the time limit, if the time runs out and he still unable to get the key they he also lose. (nice-to-have)
- Player can break the barrier, remove object like tree etc, to make his way faster to find the key.
- Explore an open map with different themed regions: 🔥 Scorching Wilds (Hot Region); ❄ Frozen Plateau (Cold Region)
- Fight enemies with AI behaviors
- Collect items (optional) and optionally unlock abilities
- Defeat mini-bosses to open new regions
- Face the final boss and collect the key to finish the game
Managed with state machine system:
IdleStateWalkingStateSwordSwingStatePerformFireFlameStatePerformFrozenBlastStateFallingDownToEartthStateDeadState
- Patrol logic: creatures movement with a certain patern like left, right, up, down.
- Chasing Logic: If player come close within certain radius, creatures start to chase player, the speed increase.
- Attack Logic: when get close to player, they start to attack player
- UI look: they move left and right, not all direction
-
Early creatures small, easy - Spider, Pinkbat
-
Mid creature: more in quantity, a bit stronger, more variety: bomberplant in addition to spider, pinkbat
Bomberplant has different behavior, they stay still. But it explodes the player if player accidentially step on thems. -
Final creature player faces with WaredenBear - the final boss, keeper of the Escape:
- Higher HP
- Larger hitbox
- Stronger damage
- Maybe slower movement
Disclaimer: Due to time constrain, it is more likely that this version only includes 4-group of creatures only with different behaviors or strength: Spider, BomberPlant, Skeleton, WardenBear. The other probably don't include at this point of this version.
