BlastBots [working title]

Concept Document

High Concept
A side-scrolling shooter with various weapon types and body types to customize for battle.

Description
Setting & Story
The new craze these days is to take a bunch of scarp pieces and put 'em together for robot
battling. The rules are simple: give your bot a weapon and some special armor then blast your
opponent better and faster than he can blast you. Nothin' to it.

Game Play
Levels come in the form of challenge matches in which the player uses a customized robot to
defeat one or more enemies in battle. The action is 2D, with the camera facing the side of the
field. Attacks are aimed as angle with a finger or thumb, then launched by pressing the icon of
the desired weapon. The player and the opponent take turns firing across the field at each other.
A bot is suited up before battle with two weapon--one gun and one bomb--and one body
modification--increase attack, defense, speed, provide shields, etc. After each battle the player is
rewarded with points that may be used to purchase new augments.
