Firefight



So What?
Firefight is a topdown arena arcade shootemup-ish game where you control a ronin flavored icecream and help it put out forest fires!

Story so far...

An evil greedy tycoon wants to burn down your forest to make way for his new casino. Since he doesn't want to spend a lot of money on the demolition of the forest, he has hired an evil wizard for less to use his magic to take down your forest. The spirit of the forest has conjured all its magic to bring to life an ice cream samurai to defend its home!

You..



Enemies

Storm Demon: A rabid cloud that floats around striking trees, catching them on fire. Can only be stopped with the wind sword.

Special Storm Demon: Same as Storm Demon, only with a one and four chance of creating a Fire Demon with its strike.

Fire Puff: doesn't do much but BURN EVERYTHING!!! Can be stopped with most attacks.

Fire Demon: A demon (on fire...) that attacks the player shooting homing fireballs. Has a small chance to dodge attacks. Can be stopped by most attacks, while the mana sword does the most damage to the Fire Demon.

Axe Men: Tycoon thought the evil wizard was taking too long so he had some of his own cronies help out. Axe Men move to trees and attempt to chop them down. If the player moves with in a certain distance of the Axe Men, they will chase the player throwing axes at him. The mana sword is the only weapon in your arsenal that does damage to them. You can use the regular water attack to freeze the Axe Men, allowing you to break them in one hit with the mana sword. Ironically fire also hurts the Axe Men.

Ghost: If you kill an Axemen they will appear above the spot where the Axe Men was killed and hover around you slowing you down. They don't do any damage but will be super annoying. The only thing that hurts them is the mana sword but they are pretty good at dodging(better than fire demons). After a while they will disappear.


Bosses

Evil Wizard's apprentices

Evil Wizard

Tycoon in bulldozer or something

Stuff

Regular attack: throw water to put out fires, Fire Demons and such.

Mana Sword: Shoots green chi and can hurt most things. Can also cut down trees, so try not to miss.

Wind Sword: Shoots gusts of wind, can put out a tree on fire with one hit, but has a chance to spread the fire to neighboring trees.

Spread Powerup: Shoots three balls of water instead of one. Replaces regular attack. Is not permanent.

Speed Powerup: Shoots faster balls of water and time in between firing is shorter, but does less damage. Replaces regular attack. Is not permanent.

Frosty Powerup: Shoot homing sprinkled ice cream scoops. Replaces regular attack. Is not permanent.

Special Attack: Shoots a huge wave of water a la hidouken or kamehameha

Ice Cubes: Replenish Angels Eye's health(health bar will be a thermometer)

Uhhhhhh can't think of anything else at the moment.

The Game

So you start off in a forest. Enemies come and try to burn it down or attack you. Your goal is to try and survive while putting out the fire. If you die or all the trees are gone, you lose the game. Putting out trees on fire and enemies scores points, after a certain amount of time a boss will appear and if it is destroyed, you move to a new board. Rinse and repeat (pun intended)

Okay, so I keep messing around with the art and need to stop and just use placeholder art for now until I get the game pretty solid. I added a new feature to chug your skoop and will replace throwing water.

Thanks a lot! Yea, ever since playing games like link's awakening and pokemon, I've always wanted to make my own top down game



Okay I know I said I wasn't going to mess around with the art but I had this idea and couldn't resist.

Also is this still considered top down?
