Space Ride

Game Type: Third person shooter

Far in the future, when astronauts exploring the space, ship crashes on to a planet. Everyone in the ship is dead except for you. You're exploring the planet which has gravity much more less than the earth. So the player semi-floats/flies with the help of thrusters located on the different sides of suit. Player has to control the thrust in order to move in different directions. Player finds the aliens who are hostile. In order to get back to earth, player has to make his way by killing aliens.

Gameplay: We could design the mechanics around movements by making hard to move or we could make action based on killing aliens and dodging them through controlling thrusters. Basically we have many possibilities to build this game like puzzle or action. The core mechanics being the movement in the space. We can have many weapons since its set in the future. Another feature being oxygen instead of health. We could place oxygen bags around the map. Player has to prioritize either attacking the enemies or getting to oxygen bags before oxygen in suit runs out. About the art, we could make art as cartoonish theme or a normal one.

If you're looking for prototype, check out this gameplay. Instead of space in the video, the game is set on the planet around that kind of movement.
