One page quick game design ideas

These are all just rough ideas that I may elaborate on later.


“Rebirth” is a simulation game where the player is a soul who is going through levels of ‘aspects’ to obtain its body and begin life.
You start out as a formless ball of light, taking shape as you gain personality and self-realization through your journey to life. You travel through realms of abstract thought, gaining abilities to make your way through the realms. Take on a grumpy personality and gain more damage against the obstacles, or become a kind person who heals and calms those around you.
-          Travel through realms of light and sound, always moving towards your ultimate goal: life.
-          Each time you play, you experience something different.
-          The realms of thought are constantly changing, reflecting how you change and develop.
-          Personality traits affect how you can react to your environment and change the way you look.
-          Fight other souls to gain enmity in life, or befriend to gain soul mates.

Genre: Simulation
Platform: PC
Projected Rating: Everyone
Target Audience: Casual to hardcore gamers ages 10-80


“Deck” is a colorful platforming adventure game where the player becomes a lowly 2 playing card, working to rise through the ranks to become an Ace.

You start out by choosing your suit; hearts, diamonds, spades, or clubs. Each suit has their own strengths and weaknesses. You make your way through the board game cities, defeating your rival card suits and hostile game pieces to rank up, becoming more powerful with each rank. Your goal: become an Ace, and rule the deck!

-          Fun, colorful worlds composed of familiar board games.
-          Unique fights using your suit’s abilities!
-          Insane bosses and enemies that make you think on your feet, each having their own weaknesses.
-          Use your card character to slip into cracks to hide, slide down hills, or glide in the air!

Genre: Platform Adventure
Platform: DS and Wii
Projected Rating: E to E10+
Target Audience: Casual gamers ages 8-15


“Citizen” is an amusing take on superheroes; by putting the player in the role of the innocent civilian, trying to survive a super-powered fight between a hero and villain.

You play as Norm A. Guy, on your way to work one morning. A fight breaks out between one of the city’s resident superheroes and a villain, and you’re caught in the middle of it! Try to survive as you dodge flying rubble, superpowers, and the panicked crowds as you attempt to make it to work on time.

-          Dodge rocks, rubble, and even cars while hurrying to work!
-          You can take a car or walk – it’s your choice.
-          Avoid getting caught in the fight, finding the best route through the city.
-          Can you get to work on time, or will you be another victim of evil?

Genre: Action
Platform: PC, flash based
Projected Rating: E10+ to Teen
Target Audience: Casual gamers looking for an amusing game to pass the time
