Swivel (Running Title)

Game Design Document

• What is Swivel?

Swivel is a puzzle platformer where the character is 2D and the world around it is 3D, which can be accessed only through certain swivelling platforms

• Main Objective

Solve the puzzle to uncover different areas in a metroidvania kind of adventure 

• Mechanics

The character has basic left right movement and jumping mechanics in its 2D lane but with certain platforms the character can access the lanes in front and behind by jumping at the right timings

• Concept Idea

The initial idea of rotating platforms in a crazy fashion came from this instagram post where the giant wheel is rotated in weird ways to have an immersive experience

                                                                     

This idea was then modified with the idea of combining 2D and 3D space which was inspired from Fez

• Visual Design

It will be a futuristic looking neon colored setting
