Game brainstorm
I have chosen to brainstorm about these four games as they all seem fun, enjoyable and suitible for all ages.
Game 1: Dodge.
This game would be designed on the computer using game designing software and it would be a digital game. The idea for the game is that several 'bad guys' will fall from the top of the screen and the player must try and avoid them using either the arrow keys or the mouse. The longer the player lasts in the game the faster the bad guys will fall and the higher the score. Another idea for the game is the longer the game goes on the bad guys begin to come from different angles on the screen and they begin to change size eg bigger and smaller bad guys. I plan for the background of the game to be black, the bad guys to be red and the controlling guy blue. I like the idea for this game as it is simple to play, does not have many rules and is fun for all ages. I like the idea that friends could play together and battle it out to see who can get the highest score. Growing up when me and my brother were younger we used to play games like this one on our old computer so I believe this will bring back some memories and is why I am interested I creating this game. I have no previous knowledge in creating games like this however I have played games similar to this one so I believe it is a good idea. I plan to use a program like unity to create this game if I were to choose it as it is the leading online engine for making games.

Game 2: Sliding puzzle game.
When i was younger and still to this day i always loved puzzle games. I sometimes play candycrush on my phone when i'm on a bus or whatever as I feel they pass time quickly and are good for the mind. My mother loves playing pzuudle styled games so this one was inspired by her love for them. The games is simple to play would be fun for all ages. The idea for the game is to have a big square shape on the screen. The square would be filled with 10-20 smaller squares each with their own number on them.(1-10 or 1-20) However there will be one small square missing from the big one and the objective of the game is to slide all the squares around until they are all in order from 1-10/20. There would be different levels with the easiest level only having maybe 5-10 numbers, the medium difficulty level having 20-30 numbers and the hardest level having 30-50 numbers. Players could work their way up beginning on the easiest level and work their way up to the hardest. A possible feature is that the player must start on the easiest level and he/she is not able to progress to the next level without having completed the previous level. The user would be able to choose the colour of the square for customisation and there would be a sound effect once the square is completed. Another variation of this game is where you could have a random picture cut up into loads of different squares and the player must slide the squares around to get the picture to fit together again. The player would use the mouse to clich and drag squares.

Game 3: Connect 4.
This game was the game that brings memories back as me and my younger brother used to battle it out every day for the crown of connect 4 champion. This game is probably the first game I can really remember playing. It was so fun to play and you could play it for hours upon hours without getting bored. I intend to make this game on a computer software and it will be a 2D game. Everyone knows this game but i will explain how it works for anyone who hasn't had the privilege of playing it. You begin with a board that stands upright with holes at the top. The most commonly used connect 4 board size is seven columns by six rows however size variations include 5x4, 6x5 and 8x7. Each player gets their own set of coloured coin shape disks. The aim of the game is to drop the disks into the holes where the disks occupy the lowest space. The first one to get four disks in a row vertically, horizontally or diagonally is declared the winner. The tricky part of the game is whilst you are trying to get your disks to form four in a row, you must also pay attention to your opponent to try and prevent him from doing the same. I believe this would be a fun game for parents to play with their children or for friends to play together. I have previously played this game in the physical format so this would give me an idea of how the game should be played and how to design it.

Game 4: Nibbles.
This is also a game that brings back memories from my childhood as I used to play this game on my old nokie phone, I believe the game was called snake. When i got my first phone, a nokia, I was obsessed with playing this exciting game. The game has a black screen on the background and then begins with a small green snake on the screen. There is a little red dot on the screen which is food for the snake. The idea of the games is to use the arrow keys on the keyboard to change direction of the snake as it moves around and try and direct it so that it runs into the food and eats it. As the game goes on the snake begins to grow with every bit of food it eats. The speed that the snake is traveling in also increases which makes the game more difficult. The games gets harder to play the longer you play for, which is essencially leveling up. This game is a classic and would never get old and that is why I would love to ,ake my own version of it with possible different colours. I could also add audio to the game to give it some life. This game is perfect for anyone who has a spare few minuites or has nothing to do or simply would love a quick game.
