Game Ideas

[Wes]

I had an idea for a 2D platformer where you play as a prisoner escaping from jail. It'd take palce in a time back where prisoners wore white and black stripped clothes and had iron balls chained to their ankles. The game would probably be called 'Chains' or 'Chained' or something. The gameplay revolves around the ball and chain. You can throw the ball like a weapon or whack people with the chain itself. You could throw the chain and have it grapple onto things, like the hookshot in Zelda (well, it'd be more like the Grappling Hook from Wind Waker). You can swing across gaps or climb up the chain while its hanging. Then you could buy different chains to be heavier or lighter. Heavier ones would have less throwing range but they'd do more damage. Lighter ones could be thrown further and would do less damage. They might also break if you hang on them too long. Then you could update you iron ball to different things like a spiked ball or fire ball.
