2 Player game for kids between 5-11 years old   

I developed this game for young kids between 5-11 (Mostly girls). Because, when I was little and played Mario Brothers none of my girlfriends knew this game, so I thought if I made a game based on stars, diamonds, pink world and so on, maybe the girls would have fun playing a platform game and even play it with each others to find the competition spirit. The purpose of this game is to strengthen the motoric skills, the patience, the competition spirit, the cooperation and having fun.

Mechanics:

Player 1 controls:

A = left

W = up (jump)

D = right

Player 2 controls:

Arrow left = left

Arrow up= up (jump)

Arrow right = right

The goal is to get the highest score by collecting rewards. The rewards are either diamonds, flowers or the points from reaching the goal first. The flowers are rare, and therefore they will reward you with 25 points. The diamonds are everywhere so they’ll only give 1 point and the goal give’s you 75 points but it is hard to get to. You will start the game with 3 life’s each, so you can collect the hearts which will give you 1 life and the placement of your new respawn place.

There obstacles in the game are the boys, who when they skate in to you, you will lose a life and respawn to start, or if you got a heart before getting bumped into you will respawn to the placement of that heart. If you fall in to the bottom of the clouds you will loose one life an respawn. If one of the players have lost all their life’s before time has run out, the game will stop and the other player wins. The estimated time is 300 seconds (5 minutes).

Dynamics:

Instead of getting bumped in to by one of the skating boys, you can jump directly on the boys heads, and it will give you extra Jump Power to get even higher than your normal jump height. With Jump Power you can reach some of the achievements in the higher clouds. But the boys can only get jumped on ONES, because they will disappear when you jump on each of them, just like you “disappear” when they run in to you.
