This is a concept for a video game that I have been working on. It is an action adventure where you play as a space cadet in the future. It is basically a metroidvania. Its inspirations come from Duck Doggers, Blasto, and Rachet and Clank. I want the humour to be like a kid's cartoon. The hero isn't the most competent, but is brave and believes he is way cooler than he is. Think Earthworm Jim. In his mind, he is the hero. Everyone else thinks he's a moron. His personality is also a lot like Duck Doggers. He wants to save the day and get the babe. And he does.
The player character must handle like Jak from the Jak and Daxter Games. He can Run, Crouch, Roll, Jump, Long Jump, High Jump, Double Jump, Uppercut, Ground Pound, Punch. All of these movements and actions will help the player solve enviromental puzzles. If there is a button on the floor, Ground Pound. There's a button on the roof, Uppercut. Large hole in the floor that you have to get over, Long Jump. Etc.
