1.2 Background
The game is inspired from the legendary mobile game Super Ninja Run. For the
proposed game the ninja will be altered with other character but the concept will be
same. The game is designed for the web browser so that everyone can play the game.
The web platform has been selected because Operating System, such as Android and
iOS, specific games are difficult to make and requires extensive amount of time. Rather
than creating a same game for two different OS, the web based development made the
project easy. Because of this decision, additional time will be available to concentrate
on the game’s features. Currently smaller games are very popular among the world
because these games does not take much space in the system. Moreover, there is no
need to install the game in the system. Any modern day web browser can be used for
playing this game. This will increase the popularity of the game among the low end pc
users who do not have high configured system. The game’s graphics will be simple yet
attractive.
1.3 Description

home page will have the description of the game and a button that will lead to the
game. The page have a bright background color so that user can easily get attract to
the page at first tome visit. The home page also have a link to the instruction page
where all the game related instructions are provided. As the game will be developed in
the Google Web Designer, the look and graphics of the game will be better than low
quality obstacle games. The background of the home page will resemble the character
and theme of the game.
The instruction page will have a simple color combination. This is because user needs to
clearly see the instructions provide in the screen. The instructions page will inform the
user that anywhere on the game can be clicked to make the character jump. The
character must prevent the obstacles. The screen will record the score of the game for
each run. The user can re-start the game after game is over by clicking on the game
over screen. The game will calculate the score based on the obstacles the gamer has
dogged.
The game screen will be a small screen resolution and will be in the middle of the page.
The character will die if obstacle is touched. The game will show the score on the top-
left corner of the screen. The character will go out of the screen when it will die.
