2. By James Sheets Game Pitch:

3.  Evil aliens have picked up our radio frequencies, and become infatuated with our celebrities. They’ve decided to invade Earth to kidnap Tom Cruise!  Will Smith – ace fighter pilot – is the last our last, best hope at another Mission Impossible sequel.  Simple, Funny

4.  2-D, top-down shooter  Player controls a F-16 falcon jet fighter  Player confronts an enemy fighter, and must destroy it before being destroyed  Player Ship  1-hit to be destroyed  3 Lives  Enemy Ship  Only 1 model  Multiple hits to be destroyed

5.  Space to start game  Intro screen, mission debriefings, game over  WASD or Arrows to move ship  Space bar to shoot  Esc to quit

6.  All levels will probably be the same, only changing in difficulty  Hard-Capped Level Limit  16-ish levels; based on difficulty  Some sort of congratulations screen  Mission debriefings between levels  Develop the plot

7.  Attaining a high score  Minimal amount of points based on completing a level (say, 100 points * level number)  Bonus points depending on how fast you are  Bonus points for accuracy (maybe)

8.  Simple AI  Move in a direction  Shoot randomly  Enemy difficulty increases with level  Each level, the alien ship will increase in 1 area: ▪ Ship size decreases ▪ Ship fires more frequently ▪ Ship moves faster ▪ Ship requires more hits to be killed

9.  Small midi’s of Will Smith songs  Maybe Will Smith sound clips

10.  Free-use F-16 models  Free-use alien ship models  Parallax scrolling  Clouds; maybe from images or brushes  Ground; stock aerial photos

14.  This game won’t be distributed or sold commercially. I should be well within my rights (moral/legal) to use this material as a showcase for school project.  The name of the title character could be changed easily to remove any Likeness Rights issues.
