Week 3 - Video Prototype Ideas

In the first contact session this week, I came up with an idea by combining the game Hungry Hungry Hippos with the game Frogger. There will be only one character in this game who is a hippo. He needs to go through each movable block without touching it and get the food as much as he can to get high score.Once the hippo touches the block, he will go back to his starting point and lose one life. Each food will be between the movabale blocks so that to make the game become more challenging. The sketch below roughly describes this game. 

However, in the second contact session, the tutor said I did not put the key thing of Hungry Hungry hippos into the game. The purpose and the fun of playing Hungry Hippos is to fight with each other to get the food. Therefore, I changed my initial idea of making only one character. I added one player into the game and changed the character to frogs. There will be two frogs in this game and fight for the food. There is only one food in the middle of the screen. The two frogs have to go through the movable blocks in front of them and catch the food. Once one of the frogs catches the food, the other frog can chase him and grabs the food by touching him. If the frog touches the blocks, he will go back to his starting point as well as the food. The frog who arrives his starting point with the food will win. Here is the sketch for this game.
