Marge’s Barge is about Marge and her barge.
Theme:
It’s about being on the sea and defending against enemy ships who would like to steal your cargo.
Player experience:
Frantic and a bit lonely, all alone at sea with only your guns and your cargo.
Core Mechanic:
Shoot enemies, dodge bullets/enemies/stuff floating in the water.
Game Loop:
Single level with endless enemy waves. After a certain amount of time a boss spawns.
Shoot enemies for points until health reaches zero and game ends.
Below are my art assets. Maybe you can upgrade the barge of Marge with more guns, up to nine, as shown in the image. But you start out with just one. Or maybe you can upgrade up to six, and you can roll a die, because the back of the barge has something of a dice-roll feel to it.
The fonts are from Dafont after searching for water and sea. The title font is Flood Water and the other font is Searocks.
