Audience: Its a game design for all ages, where the controls will be easy to learn for anyone to play the simple surface-level plots. People who like haunted themes will enjoy playing as a ghost.
Characters/Roles: Mr.Ghost [Still thinking of a name] – A demonic ghost who’s trying to be King of the Soul World. He becomes stronger by eating souls. He is the main character in the game that you play as.

Theme: adventure, platformer
Objectives/Goals: Help Mr.Ghost eat all the souls in the haunted graveyard. You earn points for every souls! Cross through the platforms avoiding obstacles.
Perspective: 2D Platformer Scroll Game, User play as Mr.Ghost
Controls: PC Game. User will be able to run through the platform using left and right arrow keys. Jump with Up arrow key. And attack with Spacebar.
Reference Points/ Originality:
I don’t play at lot of PC games to know how the controls work. But based on games like Hollow Knight or Kirby 64 that are played on different systems, they have the basic game mechanics of running with left and right, jumping and attacking.
Hollow Knight, you play as a knight that collects souls by fighting enemies. My game is inspire by collecting souls but instead of fighting for schools it’ll be like how in mario games you collect coins or as in Kirby games you collect stars through the platforms.
