Game Concept

Working Title: 
TOP TANK

Concept Statement:
A 1v1 top-down shooter where you and a friend can battle it out to see who is the TOP TANK!

Genre:
Top-down Arcade game

Concept Creation Process and Influences:
I want to recreate a game from my childhood that I would play almost every morning at primary school before class started called Tank Trouble.  I felt that it would be fun to understand how a nostalgic game like Tank Trouble was made and try and recreate that nostalgia with something I made myself. The core of the game is just tanks moving around a map trying to shot the other one to get a point, which is what I want to try and recreate. 

Target Audience and Competitive Analysis:
The target audience for my game is people who are short on time but want something to play between doing other things. The game loop is fairly short for my game with each round taking anywhere from 5-30 seconds depending on who fast you can destroy the opposing tank. The game will end when one of the players gets to 10 eliminations. This style of arcade game doesn't have mass market appeal so there aren't a lot of great examples of similar games that have been successful, but for arcade games in general Vampire Survivors is one of the most popular in recent history. 

Game Treatment:
In this game, you will face off against an opponent in an arena trying to eliminate them. Each time you eliminate your opponent you each will respawn on a new map in a random place. The first to 10 eliminations wins.

Key features:
-Two Player
-Random Maps (randomly selected not generated)
