FishFreedom

It's a platformer game inspired of the old AppStore games like "CutTheRope" or "AngryBirds". Games where the player would have complete a puzzle related to the main mechanic of the game. Where simple, but yet entertaining games that kept the player coming back to complete new levels.

Gameplay 

As mentioned before, Fish Freedom is a game inspired by the old smartphone era games. In each level the player is put in a precarious situation where he must flop its way back into the ocean. Each level brings new challenges to the table, and the player must adapt and solve the solution to its predicament.

Mechanics

1. Movement

The main objective of Fish Freedom is to simulate the movements of a fish out of the water. It achieves this by recreating the flexibility of a fish with a ragdoll body. As fish a fish out of the water the player must jump to move forward or roll its way to the ocean.

2. Power Ups

These power ups as the game suggest give the player abilities that the player can utilize to reach the ocean faster. Due to the levels being strictly linear the power ups are necessary to beat the game, however in the future this will not be the case. By increasing the size of the levels, and providing the player with the opportunity to approach each challenge with a different idea. 

3. Collectables

Collectables are spread across the levels, and they work as a completion bonus. However, one of them is crucial to the completion of the game. Some of the collectables that can be found in the game are:

1. Coins: 

Coins can be found in each level, similarly to how in games like "Where is my water" and "Cut the rope" stars will be present for the player to collect. In Fish Freedom, the coins serve two goals.

• One is to encourage the player to return to previous attempted levels, and with their advance knowledge of the game, try to get the coins that they could've missed during their first attempt. 

• Secondly, is a way to prevent the player to advance further, due to levels further down in the game will be locked under coin doors.

     2. Hats (Not Implemented):

Hats are mostly cosmetic and give the player an opportunity to change their appearance. This will be hidden and scattered in levels for the player to find.

     3. Skins (Not Implemented):

The idea of the skin is not only to change the appearance of the player, but to also change its abilities, by giving the player the opportunity to change what type of fish he is controlling.
