Theme and concept


Surf!
 Surfers / Route building / furthest traveled



Concept statement

"Small movement brings big diffrence" 
“Waves change the tide”

Player is surfer who is surfing the sea. Every player has to make his own tide for goal. They ride a wave and move toward an utopian island. when the player moves, a wave is created. The wave changes players' path. the change brings positive or negative attect. Player send the wave to interrupt the other player’s way but sometimes it created unexpected obstacles. 



Labyrinth

as a mechanic resource, player's movement changes by tilting. 
if you tilt the borad, it changes everything. direction, location or movement. Player cannot handles the direction completely. Tilting may also affect the other player’s movement. (interrupt)




I have strong influence from this A-maze-ing Labyrinth.
I saw this game from a borad game review site. I think this is very unique idea -moving maze- but for me, the theme is little boring and old. 



Spongebob’s surf & skate Road trip




Robo surf

basic movement to avoid obstacles; simple up and down direction change and the height of wave controls speed.
Motif of variety of obstacles.
and Robo surf shows a special chance item like the oil barrel that go through the stage and obstacles. 



Surfing up

Key motif - Competition of surfers
Surfer need to ride the wave carefully and expect the movement of waves first.
the direction could be changed by the waves even if the player does not want to.
