Background Story
The story to 'Paco the penguin' starts off as an happy and beautiful beginning.
The penguins have mated and have settled down waiting for their little chicks to hatch in their town, I have named Glaciality. Everything was going perfect for paco and his friends un till an Massive octopus named Octavios wanted to make an entrance by creating a crack through the ice inches away from paco and his friends.
Octavio's already had an bad reputation in glaciality. Mostly due to him being greedy, distributive and stubborn. He doesn't stop until him and his friends get what they want. Usually Octavios doesn't come to this part of Glaciality, so it was a shock to all the penguins when he decided to pay a visit and interrupt. It wasn't long until octavos made an riot and decided to help him self to the penguins eggs taking one by one. Until he got to Paco and Perry's nest. Octivaios went to get Paco's eggs. Paco attempted stop
Octiavos by stepping in front of Perry and their eggs. Octavious was confused more than outraged, No one has never stood up to him like paco did. Obviously he couldn't have others thinking that an penguin is more powerful than him so instead he decided to teach paco an lesson. Octavios smacked paco out of the way and decided to put his eggs as well as Perry in a large cage and left. Leaving all the penguins in glaciality heartbroken, Lonely and lost. But unlike the other penguins paco didn't want to give up, He is determined to go to Octavios's island and get back what belonged to him and his friends. Even if it meant a fight.
Paco
Paco is the character that the user controls
Paco is an regular penguin from Glaciality, all he wants do is be an happy family with perry and his two eggs. His life was going exactly how he wanted to un till his worst enemy Octavio's decided to rudely interrupt his village and take all of the egg's including Paco's and perry's eggs. However paco wasn't going to stand by and watch Octavio's take his egg's, Instead he attempted to stop Octavio's Sadly it didn't go according to plan and resulted in making Octavio's more angry and got punished by Octavio's because instead of just taking his eggs away he also took perry. Leaving paco with no one. He was lonely, frightened and is now determined to go and get his life back. This means paco having to fight and dodge all of Octavio's friends and tricks. Actions: Jump/double jump, Throw snow balls, Swim, run and sliding.
However some creatures thought doing this made Octavio's more of an inspiration than an monster and decided to join in and help Octavio's as well as get what they desire to. But there is some rumours around glacity that some of Octavio's friends are more scared or too stupid to stop what they are doing and find it easier to listen and follow every command that Octavio's demands them to do. The commands Octavio's demands can vary quite alot such as Octavio's wanting most of the fish in Atlantic or him simply wanting an jellyfish grown.
Seal ✗3/10The seal is one of Octavio's first friends that decided to help and join Octavio's. This is mostly because the seals are docile and quite sensitive. They don't make the best body guards that Octavio's could have or get but these seals are loyal and do as much as they can to make Octavio's happy. Luckily for paco the seals will die by just one jump or one snow ball also they are quite lazy and probably wont see paco until it is to late. This makes the seals the least damaging which results in only 80HP when killed.
Actions: Sleeping, shuffling across the floor, head butting.
Colour and body built: Small, round, chubby and Gray.
Damage given: Half an heart
Health: An Heart.
Petrel Birds ✗4/10
Luckily for paco these angry little birds don't give to much damage either and can get 40HP From killing. Their more tough to kill than the seals normally because they travel in packs and have a much more better attention span than the seals however just one hit then the birds will either fly away or easily die. Actions: Flying and swoopingColour and body built: Small, Thin, Fast and white.Damage given: Half an heart
Panda's are one of the best land animals that Octavio's has persuaded into working for him. These pandas are loyal, Strong and quick at thinking however luckily for paco these pandas usually do not move. Their only tactic in hitting is sitting down and throwing snow balls which sadly can cause quite alot of damage to paco. Killing an polar bear results in gaining 120HP points
Action: Sitting, throwing snow balls
Colour and body built: Big, fat and whiteDamage given: 1 heart per hitHealth: 2 hearts.
Whale ✗9/10
The whale is one of the smartest and dangerous animals in the North pole. So who else would Octavio's want to stop intruders trying to swim in his precious water which he doesn't want anyone else to go. These beautiful creatures might be an holy grail to Octavio's but they are Paco's worst night mare. These creatures could hit paco once and easily kill him. The only way to get past the whales is to swim and dodge them as any attack that paco does do not harm the animal. However these animals can be quite peaceful, Paco has to try and sneak past the animals without getting there attention. After a while the whales will notice paco and swim to attack but hopefully for paco the few minutes he got with out a chase would of made a big difference.

Paco's travels are going top be surprising, difficult and really dangerous but paco isn't going to give up easy. even if it means having to go against all sorts of enemy's and having to travel through horrible locations.

Map&Levels
In my game i have designed an map for the first level. In this map i have colour coded and sectioned it into 5 different parts. You can see these parts and their details below.
Part two
In part two it gets a tiny bit more difficult. at the end of the slope their is an seal which is introduced as Paco's first enemy. Above paco is a bonus coin and slightly to the right of the bonus coin is a few more ice cubes waiting to be broken open.
After getting past the seal their is another situation where ice spikes are dropping down and paco has to walk past/dodge.
Part 5 S1
This part is really simple, its kind of an rest from the difficultly from getting to the door.
Result Board
Once finishing each level an result board comes up just like this one i drew on the right.
On my example it counted up the perfect score, this includes paco collecting everything he could of collected which resulted in him getting an gold achieve meant. On the level board this would put a gold start next to the current level however if they didn't get a perfect score the other stars would be silver or bronze. It all depends on the points and time in the game.
Shop
In the shop section you get to choose how you spend your coins which the user has collected in previous levels. Each coin is worth 18 but each bonus coin is worth 40. Once the user has got the amount of money to buy an item from the shop then all they have to do is press the buy button.
If the user doesn't understand what the item is for or how much damage the item can give or take they can simply just press the '?' icon and the information for the particular item will pop up.

Octavios
Octavios is usually known as an horrible, stubborn and cold hearted octopus by most animals in the Atlantic. This is mostly because Octavio's didn't have the greatest up bringing by his parents who left him in an ocean by him self. Making Octavio's to defend him self and the easiest way he did this was to not get attached and do not make pathetic excuses he believed that if you want to do something then drop all the reasons why you cant do it and just do it. This attitude made Octavio's seem selfish, He didn't care about anyone else but him self.

The commands Octavio's demands can vary quite alot such as Octavio's wanting most of the fish in Atlantic or him simply wanting an jellyfish grown.
However his most cruel and recent demand was to capture and collect all the penguins egg's. Octavios knows that the penguins in glacity are kind, quite and weak which makes them the easiest pray. Some of the fish in Atlantic say that Octavio's is wanting the penguin's egg's for food but no. Octavios plans are much more devious and horrible. He wants the egg's to hatch so he can teach them into being his own personal slave. What could be more better than an kind, quite and weak slave who has no choice but to give Octavio's what he wants? It would fulfil his dreams.

Map&Levels
In my game i have designed an map for the first level. In this map i have colour coded and sectioned it into 5 different parts. You can see these parts and their details below.
Part one
In the first section of the map. You start in an simple area, No enemy's etc. Your first challenge is just simply jumping to hit the ice cubes to collect the items in the ice cubes. In this case there is One coin, 25 HP points and a fish. To the left of paco where he first enters is a couple of coins and to the right of paco there is an steep hill which he can slide down and collect the coins waiting on the slope.
Part two
In part two it gets a tiny bit more difficult. at the end of the slope their is an seal which is introduced as Paco's first enemy. Above paco is a bonus coin and slightly to the right of the bonus coin is a few more ice cubes waiting to be broken open.
After getting past the seal their is another situation where ice spikes are dropping down and paco has to walk past/dodge.
Part three
In part three, after escaping the spikes you have a two way path. the first path you can take which is the original path to the ending of the level is up an tiny hill covered in coins and again has one more seal on it.

The other path is a bit more difficult and special. This path has an panda on it which is quite difficult for beginners of the game but if the die then they just check point to the beginning of whatever 'part' they are on.
The panda is guarding the first special door known as 'S1'
The panda is guarding the first special door known as 'S1'
Part three S1
In the first special door it is quite simple. Their are different floors all raised slightly different, the user has to jump on to each individual one to reach an egg worth 1000hp points. Once they have gotten the egg they will instantly return back outside the door however if they also die then they will also instantly return outside the door giving them another opportunity to reach an egg.

Part three/2
After following the usual route up the hill and getting past the seal. the user is again given two choice of an route. The original route is to carry on walking forward however the second route leads up to another secret door. You can jump onto the hill on the right hand side, the hill is covered in coins but also enemy's. their is an panda and also an couple of birds waiting to dart at you while making your way to the door.

Part three S2
In the secret door you have to run up and hill which then has an floor of an thin ice. paco can jump on the thin ice several times and it will break through which then paco will fall down and run into the egg but there is also an coin which isn't as noticeable on the right hand side of the hill.

Part four
Part four is the final part of the map, that is if the user doesn't decide to take the 5th part which is the most difficult. To get on to the thin part you can either break open the thin glass or fall through the gap in the floor.
To get past the fourth part of the map you have to try and not fall into the water because chances are you will fall in and get attacked by a whale. Once passed that bit their is an hill you have to climb by jumping onto to different ice cubes which some can be slippy and fall back down and loose up to 2 hearts depending on the height paco fell from. Once paco is on the top of the hill their is an igloo which then he enters. This is the end of the game and the results board comes up.

Part 5
Part 5 is more of an extra round than an round you have to do to finish the game. This part of the map is really difficult. Basically the only way to do this is to make paco crack open the thin ice while the whale isn't looking and swim past the whale, then you have to try and swim to the door without the whale catching up. If the whale does catch up then it will instantly kill you. However doing loops and changing directions can slow down the whale.
There is other things other than just the door in the water and does take quite exploring to find the extra items.
There is other things other than just the door in the water and does take quite exploring to find the extra items.
Part 5 S1
This part is really simple, its kind of an rest from the difficultly from getting to the door.
There is an wobbly water path and at the end of the tunnel is the egg. once you have got the egg it returns you back outside the door which then the whale should of forgotten about. This would give the user a few more seconds to start swimming before the whale's attention is back on paco.
Result Board
Once finishing each level an result board comes up just like this one i drew on the right.
On my example it counted up the perfect score, this includes paco collecting everything he could of collected which resulted in him getting an gold achieve meant. On the level board this would put a gold start next to the current level however if they didn't get a perfect score the other stars would be silver or bronze. It all depends on the points and time in the game.
