IGJUN09 Presents
A Game By Possumwood Studios
The UPRISING!
For our final end-of-course project (which runs 2 weeks pre-production, about 6 weeks production, and 2 days post) our class is making a arcade flying game about Nyaarlings.
What are Nyaarlinngs you say?
Well Nyaarlings are round fluffy creatures. They are filled with helium, which causes them to float about in the air (and speak squeakily), and they have many arms, which are quite articulate. The most astonishing feature is that Nyaarlings have evolved ingrown top hats. Needless to say, the poor Nyaarlings are often victims of industry, being harvested for hats and helium, and forced to use their many hands in work camps.
But enough about the Nyaarlings. The object of the game is to fly your plane around the map. You can shoot prisons, and, when they break, they will release the Nyaarlings inside. You have to collect the Nyaarlings and return them to your base. But that is not all; There are 3 other players competing with you. They can be shot, causing them to drop their Nyaarlings. Their bases can be shot, also releasing saved Nyaarlings. There are automatic turrets which fire at you, or you can pick one up from the Turret Depot, and drop it near an unsuspecting opponent. Don’t forget that all those players can do the same to you. As you can see, there is plenty for us to work on in this project.
