Pages of Whimsy - Theme Pitch

Base Game: Mega Man

Core Mechanics:

Simple, melee attacks; able to charge

Exploration in unique world/levels

Platformer mechanics w/ simple jump

Theme Logline: (Think Harry Potter; Spellbound/Witchbrook game; Little Witch Academia)

Explore the school of magic and the grounds beyond to find the missing pages of your prestigious professor’s spell book scattered about using a variety of spells you learn along the way to duel rival students and monsters.

Unique: Haven’t seen a lot of platformer / magic battle games

Feasible: Have a lot of similar source material at our disposal (Harry Potter, Witchbrook, etc), so the theme/aesthetic shouldn’t be too hard to establish.

Compelling: Duelling mechanic satisfying when defeating other students; interesting to locate missing pages; sympathy for player character (don’t wanna get expelled after just arriving at academy).

Expandable: Overall premise might have to be shifted (losing pages over and over again in new levels might be weird), could be a tutorial/starter level though-- player gains access to new quests + areas to find lost items and fight new monsters as they become a better wizard/witch
