The Game

EPIC MEGA CREATURE STOPPING GAME! OF UNICORNS!

Hook
In a world full of mystical, wonderful and totally evil creatures (like Justin Bieber) it is up to you to stop them from taking over the world and destroying what is left of the original world we once knew. You must use the mystical weapon bestowed upon you by the great unicorn goddess Wooji. She has given you the most powerful weapon known to unicorn kind, the Great Red Button of Awesomeness +3. With this weapon you must hold of the forces of evil from the world using its amazing power you can send the demon back to whence it came (or just back a few feet, but hell I'm not being paid enough to talk about their origins).

The Genre
The genre of the game is somewhat obscure this is because the game escalates from light terrain with happy people and rainbows to a slightly more grotesque darker zone in which nightmares roam free, as well as all the slightly insanity fed madness that occasionally arises so the genre of the game should probably be put under adventure as it has aspects of an adventure where you must defeat enemies to achieve a greater goal.

Target Audience
The target audience of the game is everyone who can use a computer and find this game, there is no excessive amount of gore or violent so this game quite happily fits into a 3+ boundaries though even children younger than 3 could probably win the game whilst at the same time it is difficult for adults to succeed. There is no real gore in the game though some of the characters could be considered from a horrific background and so could be inappropriate to younger minds so my final evaluation on the age boundary that this game is aimed at would be 12+.

Similar Games On The Market
There are many games that have the same control system as this game as it has only one function in game (that being the one button on the screen), but these games have been successes with the public on app stores and as online games. Even some games that can be downloaded onto the computer have this game style in it as a mini-game of sorts, one of these mini-games are hidden in the game 'The Stanley Parable' in this game the player had to press the button to stop.

Target Platforms
The target platform for this game would most probably be aimed at devices that use apps, so tablets and smartphones. Another platform that I believe this game would very well on would be the PC as that has as it would easily meet the game specs. Perhaps with further development the game could be made to work well on all consoles too. A final possible platform that I believe would work well with this game would be one of the hand held Nintendo DS devices.
