U78 Assignment 1 - Game jam concept

Game Jam

My design:

My design includes two characters which are a square and a circle, the player will be able to switch between the characters in order to complete the level. During the level the player will have to collect the stars along the way, some will be a puzzle to get to.The square is capable of enlarging (growing) vertically and horizontally- vertical growing will help get the stars from above by having the ball on top of it then switching to the ball to collect the stars. Also the square growing horizontally to help the ball and itself get across gaps in the levels. The ball can also grow in size, when small it can get to small areas of the level and when grown big it can smash into things that are in the way or jump on some objects to break them. 

The story is that the square and the ball are friends who are going on an adventure to discover new places and they help each other through the rough parts of the areas. along the way they collect stars which fuel the shapes in order for the player to change their size and get more points at the end if you collect them all and there can be a special star which is slightly hidden in the level for an extra boost in the level and more points.
