Design Advancements

Over the past few weeks we were dancing around the idea called "escaping rygon 5" which sounded pretty cool. It starts in a prison which the player has escaped and then they have to find parts to build their spaceship, so they can eventually escape the solar system. 

Now after a lot of discussing we've come to an idea where the player can create apath through space and must get from one side of the screen to the other. Now once the path has been created their spaceship will follow it no matter what, while this happens asteroids will come at the spaceship which the player then has to flick away. With all of this there will be a shop to upgrade the ship and buy boosts ect... 

In the mean time I came up with some diffrent asteroids that could play a part in the game: 

Basic ball – Stays still but player can throw it.

Basicv2 ball – Moves on the screen and the player can move it.

Solid ball – Asteroid cannot be moved by the player but can be moved by other asteroids

Solidv2 ball – Asteroid moves but player cannot interact with it, course can be changed by other objects though. 

Fire Ball – Quick speed asteroids which the player can fling away, objects that get hit by this ball speed up slightly. 

Molten Ball – Travels at normal speed but when it interacts with an object it explodes both itself and the object it 

collided with creating small shrapnel. 

Ice ball – Travels at slow speed, when it collides with another object it slows that object down. Once an object has been hit by the ice asteroid it can then be destroyed by throwing a basic asteroid at it. 

Black hole – Gradually sucks all objects around it in. 

NINJA BALL – small, fast asteroids that deal small damage but are hard to catch. 

Gold ball – A rare asteroid that can be broken open with a basic asteroid, which in turn gives the player money
