Bing Bong
Bing Bong is a rambunctious little amoeba who lives in the small town of Microchusetts.
About this Project
"Bing Bong" is about an Amoeba named Bing Bong who lives in the small town of Microchusetts. One day his town is invaded by Evil Zibob and his Evil Minions. It's up to Bing Bong to rescue his town!
The objective of the game is to eat as many minions as possible before they eat you. You can divide Bing Bong in half and eat smaller minions. Avoid the larger minions or they'll eat you and you'll lose.
Our main focus with this game is to create a really compelling and interesting character, and making game play that makes sense for him. What I've noticed a lot lately are games that have really great gameplay, but the characters don't make sense for it. Sticking a cute character on top of game play, just to reach mass appeal isn't an approach I am interested in taking.
My background is in character animation and character development. When creating a character you have to think of a few key things. Who is this character, what are his/her goals, and how do they achieve them? I figured, why not have a game about a really interesting character?
Game play is very important to us as well. If you make a really great character but the gameplay doesn't work, the game won't be fun. It's about combining the best of both worlds to create something unique, fun and engaging. The game mechanics for Bing Bong are still being developed, but to give you a quick run down, you'll need to slice Bing Bong in half to either avoid bigger minions, or eat smaller minions. The more minions you eat, the more points you'll earn! If the minions eat you, you lose!
We're raising $2,500 through AppStori which will be used to fund the next phase of production, and allow us to beta-test the app among early adopters. These rewards are exclusive to AppStori! You will have them MONTHS before anyone else in the world can get them! .The rewards include a free copy of the Bing Bong game, a free copy of the Art-Of Bing Bong eBook (which outlines all the pre-production art of the project) a free download to the How-To-Play guide for Bing Bong, Large and Signed Framed drawings, a 100-page Art-Of Bing Bong book, and finally a Bing Bong, Evil Zibob And Evil Minion plush toy! You'll also be invited to our exclusive launch party!
I hope you enjoy our project and be sure to follow us on the AppStori blog or on Twitter @AmoebasRule!
Cheers!
