PlantFace 5000

 

What is this all about?

You are master scientist and a divine gift to all women. The problem is that no one else knows it and this is terrible. So what do you do? Well you wage war on the entire world and after this is accomplished everyone will have to recognize your genius. You will do this by destroying one city at a time with you masterful creation the PlantFace5000. The PlantFace5000 is a colossal plant creature with a giant head with razor sharp teeth, a stem like body, and arms and legs. It walks uprightly like humans do, but does not talk like one because that would be freaky. There is one teensy little problem with unleashing PlantFace5000 on the world. Regardless of it's colossal size and strength, it is still what the common folk like to call, a baby and must grow more to demolish cities around the world.

So your objective, which we will call the gameplay experience because it is going to be so much fun a game, is to help PlantFace grow as it unleashes storms of fury on the cities of the world. You will see yourself (call it an out of body experience, just third person view, or whatever you like) aiming a cannon at the territory where PlantFace is working its magic. You will be launching sacks of a supreme growth seed, made by your intelligent self, into PlantFace's gaping mouth. There are three sizes of Up n'up and naturally the larger the size the greater the effect of the sack. The larger the size of sack the longer it takes to fill up, but that is a minor technicality for your genius. You will see an aiming cursor to fire the Up n'up and it will travel in a direct strait path. The velocity of your shots will not vary with each different size of sack. Naturally PlantFace will grow every time it consumes a sack of Up n'up.

Enemies, which we will call little insects, will attack PlantFace to try and stop its destruction. You will be tasked with taking these vermin down and can do so with the very same sacks of Up n'up. The larger the sack the more damage dealt to the enemy. The enemies will appear as military vehicles such as tanks, jets, and helicopters. There were will be various forms of these vehicles and each variation will have different amounts of health.

 

Tone and Mood

Is this going to be fun you ask? Absolutely! You are destroying things, and what's not fun about that? Is this going to be sinister? While you are demolishing cities for world domination it will not feel so dark and sinister. The fun will be manifested by the lighthearted visuals displayed and the sounds given. There will be no blood or gruesome violent images. Because you will be far away.

 

What it looks and sounds like

Your experience will provide simple character models with exaggerated cartoon like proportions. The colors will be of a wide diverse range. The music will be fast and frantic melodies. There will be regular firepower sounds coming from the bugs (again the military vehicles) and your cannon. An audible cue will play when you successfully land a sack of Up n'up in PlantFace's mouth. Power ups will appear and will give an audible cue when appearing and when you have retrieved them.

 

How do you know when you are doing well?

I know you like to show off and a score tally will be shown at the top left of your view (or game screen). The more enemies you defeat and the more sacks you successfully launch into PlantFace's mouth will ramp up those bragging rights. PlantFace's health will be located at the bottom right in the form a horizontal meter ranging from green to red. Red will be the lower end of the health meter. Once depleted the destruction must end. There will be different power ups to help you through out each level which are unlimited ammo, apple sauce (just kidding), invincibility for PlantFace, double effect for Up n'up, and super explosion which will destroy all enemies in sight. As you feed PlantFace Up n'up you will see it grow huger. Once it reaches maximum height time will stop and then you are in for a treat. PlantFace will open its mouth and unleash the final blow which is a powerful laser and reduce the city and all enemies to ruble. After this you may move on to destroying the next city. It's a pity that every time PlantFace uses its laser it shrinks back to baby form so it is back to square one for every single city. Each city will be more prepared than the last so prepare for a challenge every time.

 

How do you Attack Cities (control)

Do you like arcade machines? Because I sure do. Your cannon will be mounted on a swivel with a thumb trigger with two handles on each side of said trigger to launch Up n'up. Three rectangle buttons will be located on the right of your cannon, each for the varying sizes of sacks to put Up n'up in. Every time you push a sack button, the sack is loaded into your cannon and a new sack of that same size begins to fill up automatically. If you want to destroy cities at home the Nintendo Wii U will be wonderful with its Wiimote. You can use the B button to fire and three directional buttons to fill the three different size sacks.

 

So go out there and prove to the world what a handsome scientific genius you are.
