What if Pacman had a Gun?
Guns ‘N’ Ghosts is an arcade top-down arena shooter that makes you constantly move, dodge enemies and adapt to new weapons.
This is a cool little personal project that I’ve developed to have some Game Design portfolio. You can play it directly in your browser from itch.io. (lucasserrano.itch.io/gunsnghosts).
This is the design documentation of the game.
Primary loop
→ You shoot your Gun until you run out of ammo and get a new Gun.
→ You adapt how you move and how you approach enemies to your new Gun.
→ You shoot your new Gun, kill Ghosts and pick the points they drop.
→ You run out of ammo and/or get a new Gun.
Secondary Loop
→ You walk around the map picking the Pacman-like dots that cover each level.
→ When you pick all of them, they increase your multiplier and reappear for you to try to pick all of them again.
High-Level Loop
→ You appear on a new level.
→ You try to get the highest score possible. Beating your previous high score at that level.
→ Ghosts appear faster the higher your score is.
→ When you die, you start again on a different level.
You are a Ghost Hunter and your job is to deal with a bunch of Ghosts with the most effective method to deal with anything known by mankind: a Gun.
The player's goal is to reach the highest possible score.
You can wield different types of Guns and you need to constantly change and adapt to a different one.
Packages change your Gun. And are the only way to get Health or Ammo back.
There are 4 different types of ghosts, inspired by the original Pacman’s colors.
Each time you play you do it in one of the 6 different maps.
