We want to create a really fun experience. So we wanted the visuals to look really innocent, like watching a kids cartoon, just like Peppa Pig or something like that. So we went for Low Poly and bright colors.
The idea is to help this group of creatures get to the exit. So we based the idea on a classic game called Lemmings. But we gave it a fresh look and started playing with the visual style (low poly), colors (bright), views (isometric & 3d), changing the tone of the game (introducing fatalities, etc). Adding additional elements to make it even more challenging, by having blind spots and having to think in 3D, and we'll introduce those later to you.
This picture is from our 1st level, which may or may not be in the final version of the game, but for now it has been both our demo and our sandbox. What do you think?
