Border Patrol
Title: Border Patrol
Short description: Border Patrol is a platform action game where you take the role of an INS agent who duty is to enforce the law. Immigrants are trying to enter your country illegally and you must do everything in your power to stop it. You must ensure that the law is upheld and not broken, this is your goal. In this game you play as a INS agent who uses nets to catch immigrants who are running loose. The goal of the player is to catch all of the immigrants in each level within a certain time but be warned make sure you don’t catch immigrants with green cards. In doing so will result in point and time deduction. If the player progresses through the game the more immigrants he will have to capture in a shorter amount of time. This will make higher levels more difficult to catch them all. For each catch the score is raised and the goal is to get the
highest possible score. Expected playing time is just a few minutes.
Game objects: There will be just many game objects: the INS agent, immigrants, immigrants with green cards, fences, and platforms. The fence object has a fence
like image. The platforms surrounding the playing area is made out of desert like surfaces. The fence
object allows for climbing. The platform allows for the player to reach higher areas. The
INS object has the image of a INS agent. He moves with a fixed speed. When the player shoots a net and catches the immigrant the score is raised with 10 points. Catching a immigrant with a green card will result in a 15 point deduction. The INS agent jumps to a platform by pushing your space bar and climbs fences by pushing up.
Sounds: We will use multiple sounds in this game. A jump sound is used when the INS agent jumps, a whoosh sound is used when the player shoots a net out, and immigrants make noises foreign noises when caught.
Controls: Space bar is to jump, up arrow key is to climb fences and the enter key is to shoot out nets.
Game flow: At the start of the game the score is set to 0. The room with the INS agent is shown along with the starting area which includes platforms, fences, and the target. The game immediately begins. When the player presses the key the game ends.
Levels: There is just two levels. The difficulty of the game increases because the time limit decreases after each level.
