I'm makin' a little game and I need you to help me with enemy ideas. The features of the game that you need to consider are:
- 320x240 res
- Small cartoony sprite style, very colourful.
- Main character is a penguin, so animals that prey on Penguins would be good (but not required)
- Enemies should be animals
- Main level environments are:
...Forest/coastline (general fluffy animal green grassyness)
...Less nice forest (nasty trees, bats, wolves, etc)
...Volcano
...Mountains/Ice Caverns
...Underwater
...Dark caves
...Wet scottish highlands + vampirelike castle
...Alien spaceship
- Game is designed to be quirky, as examples will illustrate.
- Text-based dialogue is featured, so creatures that could add to this aspect of the game are greatly appreciated.
- Player moves in 8 directions, and can jump.
- Main attack is jumping on enemies mario-style.
- Game is ISO/Zelda-style.
- Real animals are preferred.
Ideas I have currently:
Killer Swans. They slowly glide through the water towards you, then attack you with their vicious weapons of beakage.
Agoraphobic Sea Cucumbers. The sea cucumbers are all migrating, but they've got lost. They've found themselves slithering around about 15 metres in-land. If you get close, they freak out and explode.
SpoonWhacker Puffin. A puffin armed with a large wooden spoon. It whacks you with it.
Raccoon. Cowardly creature that throws acorns at you from a distance.
Snail of Slaughter. A small snail that moves very slowly. If you get too close, it rears up and squirts you with sticky goo. The goo keeps you stuck. You can break away if you jump 4 times, but the snail keeps advancing. If it gets to you first, one bite will kill you. You can bounce on the snail, but it takes three hits to break the shell and kill it.
Wolf. Basic sweet-lookin' wolf. Runs after you and bites.
Polar Bears. They are the main predator of penguins arn't they? Or maybe that's seals. But they would attack with claws.
Seals. They could slide on thier tummies towards tu.
Rabid Walruses. They could move slowly, but bite hard. Maybe they could shoot some froth at you that would make you slip. They would also be very tough.
These would obviously be good for an ice level, also a beach level or the underwater level.
