\"mockup1\"<\/p>\n

Got my basic idea in place. Since there is so little time in this competition I was looking for an idea that I believe will be a good balance of fun with ease of implementation. This theme is fun and so wide open I expect a ton of similar base ideas implemented in many different ways.<\/p>\n

My idea is simply an arcade score or collect-o-thon based around using various types of enemies on screen as your weapons to hit the collectibles. \u00a0In the screenshot above you are the target or bullzeye player which will be mouse-controlled.<\/p>\n

You will fly around and lure the enemies into following or shooting at you. Once they are coming at your player you can move them around to hit the collectibles.<\/p>\n

Simple and basic but it leaves a lot of room for fun and messing around with that mechanic.<\/p>\n \n
