Proposal
The basic idea of our game is that you are in a flying spaceship. The way the game works is by having a camera which is moving on a fixed path along with a spaceship which you control on the screen that is unable leave the camera`s view. You are able to move the spaceship either up or down, left or right. The camera moves forward along with your ship. Along the way, you may encounter enemies which may or may not shoot at you and/or make your progress more difficult (crashing into you or shooting you down, forcing you to restart the game). You may also encounter moving or static obstacles such as asteroids or pillars/buildings. Your goals is to reach the end of the level without your health/shield falling below 0% and get as many points as possible by avoiding getting hit and destroying enemies.
