Tomb of The Maya

Paper Prototype

Description:

The Tomb of the Maya is an adventurous endless runner game that I've been currently working on since this semester. The object of the game is to explore a Mayan Tomb that is located in the center of a jungle. There are also coins you collect along the game. The more coins you get the higher score you will have at the end of the game. Once inside the tomb, you must go through a maze in order to find an artifact. This artifact is called the Golden Jaguar and your job is to retrieve the statue. Once you get the statue your next goal is to get out of the tomb and return to your jeep. Once you arrive at your jeep the game ends and you get to see your final score.

Tomb of the Maya Rules:

Setup:

Before you can play the game you must first download it to your phone or android. Once you have it downloaded you can open the app and the game will begin. Before you play you must go through the introduction phase of the game. You first start off by putting in your name and customize the screen/volume levels. Once you're done with the adjustments you can begin playing the game. You start by picking your character. You have a total of three characters you could potentially choose from. Once you have chosen your character you will the find yourself starting the first level in the jungle. You are to walk through the maze of trees to get to the temple. Along the way, there are traps and obstacles you must avoid. While looking for the tomb you can also find pieces of a map that unlocks a bonus at the end of the level. Once you have successfully found the tomb the game will congratulate you on completing the level. Your score will be saved and you will be able to pick a bonus if you found all the pieces to your map. Your bonus options are +30 health or shield for 30 seconds.

After you had got your bonus you will start on your next level. The next part of the game will be you exploring the tomb. At the entrance of the tomb, you will start your journey to find the Golden Jaguar statue. You will go through a new maze and face different challenges. You can at any time of the game use the bonus you got from the first level. There will also be bonus map pieces throughout the maze. Once you found the statue the game will congratulate you again for completing the next level.

This will be your final level. In this last level, you will be escaping the tomb. While your leaving the tomb will also be chased by angry Mayan undead warriors. In order to escape, you must remember the path you took in the previous level. There won’t be any hidden map pieces in this level because you’re in a hurry to get out. Once you leave the tomb you will still be chased by the undead and will keep following you until you reach your jeep in the jungle. Once you get to your jeep the game comes to a close. The game ends with you driving off with the idol. At the very end, you score from the coins will appear and will be saved in your game’s score chart.

How to play:

Buttons: The Tomb of the Maya is an endless runner game much like Temple Run. After you had opened the app and gone through the introduction phase you will tap the play button on the games homepage. You will have a right and left arrow keys. This will make your avatar move to the left or right side of the trail. You will also have a forward button for when you want to use super speed. Using super speed allows you to run faster for ten seconds at a time. Once you used your super speed you will have to wait 45 seconds before you can use it again.

When you double tap the forward button you will jump over any obstacle in your way.

The dodge button next to the left of the right arrow key allows you to dough branches, low ceilings, and other obstacles. Some of the obstacles you must avoid are:

Tree branches
Spiked spears
Ground traps
Quicksand
Falling stones.
Various animals
The Undead

Goal: As you get closer to the end of each level, the characters speed increase. Your object is to collect as many coins as you can. Some coins may be worth or depending on the color of the coin. There are also bonus map pieces throughout each level. When you collect all the map pieces, you get a bonus at the end of the level.
