  1. Game Titles
    Oceana, Evolving world

    Genre
    Survival, Chase (In a sense), Adventure

    Similar Games
    From Dust, Pikmin

    Narrative Summary
    The world that your little creature lives on is not like Earth. This world is largely covered by water with very little land, well over 90% of it is water. This planet however has a very harsh summer. In summer it is extremely hot, the sun gets close enough to the planet that the water begins to evaporate at an extremely fast rate. Most of the inhabitants of the planet are water organisms and as a result need to live in water to survive. As the sun evaporates the ocean, more land is exposed and the water begins to disappear. Less water means there are fewer places the creatures can exist. You take control of your creature in hope of keeping him alive long enough for the sun to go down for the day, until night when there are heavy rains to replenish the water.

    Main Character Description
    A tadpole like creature that has the ability to walk on land but only for a short time.

    Unique Hook
    Your creature needs water like we need air, however it can briefly walk on the surface but will die if exposed to both the extreme heat and the lack of water.

    Target Demographic
    Anyone who wants a quick paced survival experience.

  2. SpaceShot, GravMan, PullMeAway
    Genre: Puzzle, Physics, Action (ish)
    Similar Games: Space Penguin, Angry Birds (a stretch)
    Narrative Summary/Character Description: You are GravMan, a space super hero tasked with defending the universe from aliens! Unfortunately you missed your shuttle to the battlefield because you just had to eat that delicious sandwich for lunch. Now you must make your way to fight the aliens yourself! Place planets, stars, shuttles, moons, anything you can to orbit and manipulate gravity to sling shot yourself to outer space so you can fight the aliens and save the day.
    Unique Hook: Everyone has played a game like angry birds where you repeatedly shoot your character and try to hit the target, and that gets old, this time around you’re the one making the target! GravMan will do all the shooting. Place objects on the space field to create the perfect path for GravMan to follow. Exploit gravity and help him orbit around lunar objects in order to shoot off into space!
    Demographic: At kids, adults, anyone on the go with a phone. Fun, interactive, new, puzzler to captivate the minds of millions.

  4. Game Titles:
    Construction Calamity, Block Runner

    Genre:
    Platformer, One Button Game

    Similar Games:
    Canabalt

    Narrative Summary:
    You are a construction worker on the run from a self aware crane. You must flee the impending doom that is constantly threatening you through your construction site.

    Unique Hook:
    All of the running is done for you. You control the character in the sense that you can do 1 of two actions at any given moment. You can either pick up a block from around you or place a block that you already have in your stack. If you pick up a block it is piled on top of your character. You must fill in the gaps in you path to continue running and survive.

    Target Demographic:
    Anyone with a touch device or web browser who wants to kill time.

  5. My idea involves a block based world in which the player has to get from point A to point B, though the way is blocked by multiple enemies and unreachable cliffs. To get through these, the player must pick up terrain and throw it at enemies or make towers with them. The pro is that enemies are destroyed or a tower is made, but the con is that there is now a hole in the ground that the player must deal with. Likely to be done in 2d.
