Sewernir

Concept:

Puzzle game inspired by Dino Master / Qix

Gameplay:

You have a rope that you can use to lure in enemies. You have to create shapes and close them so that enemies get sucked into a pipe. After every level you can upgrade your stats (e.g. the length of the rope)

The mechanic explained in more detail:

Look at this guy: He is your friend :3

You’ll use this pipe to suck in enemies. How do you do that?

You simply use one of those bad boys!

They are at every wall at your disposal. What to do with them? Press E to tie your rope around them!

But watch out! The amount of rope you have is limited! If you go too far, you’ll be snatched back! Lucky for you that you can press Q to drop the current rope and start over!

“I attached my rope to a hook, now what?”

The rope will only close if you attach it on the same side again at which you started! Otherwise the magic won’t work.

To make placing the rope easier you can also use pins to pin the rope on the floor. This won’t close the rope though. Only attaching it at the same wall again will close it!

Also, the magic will only happen if the pipe is included into the ropes inner circle! Where should the enemies go otherwise`? 

Story:

Sew R. Walker is a hard working celestial. One day, after being annoyed by their coworkers, Sew decides to go find the BEST souvenir there is.

Sew buys a random 3€ rope at the next convenience store and dives into the sewers.
