Cosmodark

DISCLAIMER: The player cannot die to simplify playing for judges.

Purpose and Description

The game would be mostly space themed. The main idea is that there used to be multiple high tech civilizations but somehow these civilizations were wiped out and destroyed. The story takes place after this destruction where the character can see these destroyed civilizations on his planet and others but does not understand how they were made, when they were made, or what they are? This allows the game to give off a mysterious vibe. It will most likely be top down with few occasions where either through cutscenes or some other matter where you can look up: potentially through the game being both a platformer and a top down game.

While Cosmodark is primarily for entertainment, the purpose of Cosmodark is to help people of all ages learn space through a fictional quest.

Target Audience

Cosmodark is intended to be for an audience of all ages since the game is meant to be E-rated.

How To Play

Upon reaching the first level, you will receive a guided tutorial, meant for beginners, on how to play the game. After you learn the basic mechanics, you will venture out on your own to fight enemies and collect flair. You will fight an Elite at the end of each level. Afterwards, you will move on to the next planet through a grand portal.
