This was originally going to be a platformer, but I was worried it would get to big too fast.
The new idea that I came up with is (the best way I can put it) a cross between Kitty Cannon and Shopping Cart Hero
The game is called Pirate Launch for now (unless you have a suggestion)
You start out as just a simple Pirate in a rubber dingy.
Just like Kitty Cannon you set the cannons angle and power to launch the pirate.
He would go skidding off across the water, hitting floating mines that would send him launching, and exploding birds that would also send him furthur. Maybe a whale as well that would only send you slightly furthur.
Then there would be small islands that would slow you down, and sharks that would stop you completely.
There would also be money to be earned. Both by getting good distances, and by collecting gold by hitting it during the launch.
You could then purchase several upgrades
- Your Pirate
- Your cannon
- Your ship
- and your ship's mast
There could potentially be other things as well. But not that I can think of.
I am always open to ideas though. So if you have interesting additives, let me know!
Look at the bottom for a slightly scaled down set of pictures. I'll be touching them up, as well as finishing certain things like the background, and menus.

I am working with a 700x450 screen.
Any money (ads and sponsorship) would be split 50/50.
Who's interested?
GAH!
