The LBP Intergalactic Shmup! (NEED FEEDBACK)

Archive: 4 posts


I've been recently brainstorming on a project to work with the PlayStation Move controller.
It's a shmup (shoot 'em up) that takes places in an epic space-like caverns. Basically, if you've ever played PixelJunk Shooter or Gravity Crash, you know what I'm sort of talking about.

The idea is: Sackboy starts out in a spaceship with grab material inside. When he grabs it, the craft can shoot out paintballs at high speeds. You use the Move to latch on to the ship and carry it through the level. The ship can also be set down at certain spots so the player can solve environmental puzzles.

Story: A crew of dastardly space pirates is stealing power cells from four different galaxies. Your Sackboy wakes up and is called to retrieve the cells to restore order to the universe.

Levels involved: There are 6 levels I have planned for the series.
The first is an introduction that explains the story and gives you the key to the hub level.
The second level, the hub is an area where you can access the four main levels. After you beat one level, you're rewarded with a sticker. You use the sticker in the hub world to give you keys to new levels.
The third, and first actual level, is a garden galaxy.
The fourth is a water level. You can go underwater with your ship, but you can only stay for thirty seconds before you die.
The fifth is a beehive level.
The final level is in the belly of an erupting volcano, where you face off with the space pirates.
I was also thinking of making a short tutorial level to explain how the ship functions.

I'm pretty far along on this already, but if you'd like to help out in any way I would greatly appreciate it. Remember, it's going to be a Move controlled cavern shmup. Yes, you want it to happen.

im sorry you got no feedback i'll give you some:

The overall idea is great and i would definitly give it a play although i'm not sure the full capabilities of the Playstation Move yet i'm pretty sure that this will work. I would think the story would fit in nicely and bring it all together too.

Hope that i helped
