Our Ocean Odyssey game is designed as a two player coop arcade shooter.
Player one takes control of a turtle, happily swimming around, trying to
avoid sharks, octopus, and jellyfish, while collecting giant shrimp that
the turtle feeds off. Player two controls a (sea)monkey and his cannon,
which is attached to the turtle's back. The cannon fires poop, from the
turtle at enemies. Hitting a shark twice kills it, hitting a octopus three
times kills it, and hitting a jellyfish once kills it. The monkey has
limited
ammo, however, so the turtle needs to continue eating food, to replenish
the ammo store.
The main game display is split into 4 views. The top left view is the
turtle cam, a first person view from the turtle allowing easy viewing of the
direction of motion. The top right view is a mini radar showing the position of the
turtle and the direction he is facing. The bottom left view shows
statistics on the current game (ammo and health remaining). The bottom right view is
a third person view from behind the monkey, allowing easy aiming of the
cannon.
The game is intended to be played with the XBox 360 controller. The start
button starts, pauses and unpauses the game. All other controls are shown
on the pause screen.
