Errol Francis--Game Design

Game Updated

Originally, the name of the game was called Exit Man.
I changed the title to "Get Me Out Of Here."

"Get Me Out Of Here" is a puzzle/maze/side-scrolling game where you need to find the exit out of a dark cave.  The cave is not entirely dark.  There are candles lit inside the cave.

Gameplay:  Player starts off with the character named Max.  You are in the middle of a maze and your goal is to find your way out of the cave by going through doors before time runs out.  You also have to be careful along the way because there are obstacles trying to prevent you from reaching the goal such as pits and spiders.

Controls:
Up/Down Arrow--Climb ladders
Left & right Arrows--Walk
Hold R+Left or Right Arrow--Run
Space bar--Jump

This is my design for the character.  His name is Max.  He is a stick figure with clothes on.  He can walk, run, jump, and climb.

     My rough sketches of Max walking, running, jumping, and climbing.  I have also included sketches of what the title screen, victory screen, Game Over screen, and gameplay screen may look like.  The other game asset sketches I also have are candles, spiders, pits, and pretty much what the cave would look like.  The cave has brick walls and brick floors with a checkerboard-like pattern to it.

       Exit Man is a maze/puzzle/side-scrolling game where you play as a stick man trying to find the exit of an abandoned building.

      The goal of the game is to simply find the exit by going door to door.  It's a thinking game.  There are multiple doors in each area of the building.  There are obstacles such as pits and enemies such as spiders crawling around trying to prevent you from reaching the exit.
