What is the fiction/narrative of the game? 

Backstory:

You're a cybernetic dog in a pod being hurled through space towards the planet Mars. You were programmed by humans to be like a dog; good boy who's obedient to its owners with an immense love for humans. You're on a mission to see if Mars is habitable for mankind. As you're hurling through space you see a fleet of evil space cats led by the ancient egyptian cat god who is waiting for you at the end of the fleet. (Final boss fight). You don't fear the fleet for you have something hidden up your sleeve. Your space pod is equipped with a state of the art magnet that produces it's own gravity field and can attract/repel any material towards/away from it. With this secret weapon in hand, you plunge your way towards the fleet ready to destroy them in order to get to the planet mars.

What is the aesthetic/style/mood of the game? (Audio and Visual)

 Aesthetic would be a space themed background and space-like style (spaceships, fictional weapons) for the objects in the game. The bullets and weapons would be contrasted and bright in color. The audio would be a fast-paced electronic or futuristic style to match the pace of the game.

What are the core gameplay/mechanics/genre of the game?

You're fighting through waves of space cats (who're shooting at you) that come down from the top of the screen and go towards the bottom and encounter mini bosses every so often. Every time you attack a cat there is a chance that they drop their weapon and you can attach it to yourself.

Mechanics:

• Action / Arcade style

• Attracting objects to your pod

• Repelling objects from your pod (this might be an ultimate ability or used as a last resort)

• Shooting (you will always be shooting automatically)

• Movement: can move anywhere in the 2D plane
