Minor Project 9




Goats!

The Game Overview

Goats! is a bighorn sheep-themed arena shooter, where the goal is to survive as long as possible against waves of bighorn sheep-themed enemies. The player's goal is to get the highest possible score.

Why are we making this game?

Some GDD students find the bighorn sheep model in the poser program entertaining when it is put in unusual poses. The game's bighorn sheep-themed graphics will appeal to this fascination with bighorn sheep, making the game very popular with its target audience.

Walk us through the game!

The game is fairly simple, as are most arena shooters. The player begins in a bighorn sheep-themed level, and is given a bighorn sheep-themed tutorial to introduce them to the game's controls. After the player has been acclimated to the bighorn sheep-theme and knows how the game works, the game will begin spawning bighorn sheep-themed enemies for the player to fight. The enemies will be spawned in progressively larger waves, starting with simple, weak, bighorn sheep-themed enemies and building up to very challenging bighorn sheep-themed enemies.
When the player is killed, they will be taken to the game's bighorn sheep-themed high score table. A player who has made it onto the high score table will be allowed to enter their name, which will be given a bighorn sheep theme before being submitted to the list of high scores.

Similar Games

There are numerous scrolling shooters, shmups, arena shooters, and other 2D shooting games in this genre. While none of them share the bighorn sheep theme of Goats!, this game's mechanics will be similar to many existing games.
