1 Concept Paper
1.1 Introduction
This is a project to be developed on the Google Web Designer. It is basically a jump-n-run game
which will be running on the GWD. This game will be based on a character which will be
controlled by the user playing the game. This game is better than other games in the market as
this game is very challenging. The user with the use of the character will have to jump and run
across to score more points and challenge self. It is a very good themed game which will be full
of fun and will make the users attractive towards it. This is a game where the user will be
playing as a zombie which will jump-n-run across the game and will score with each jump.
1.2 Background
The game is built on the theme of zombies, but it’s opposite from the real life scenario.
Here, the user will be playing as the zombie and jumping around the course to gather
maximum points. The more a user jumps, the more score the user will score. It is a
competitive game where the user will try each time to beat the previous highest score
which he/she scored. The game which we are developing covers various designing
aspects which will ultimately be useful in enhancing the overall user experience. Using
GWD as the development tool we will be learning various techniques on how to build a
fun, interactive and more attractive game with enhancing the UI. This game will be
made easy to operate and will challenge the user to break his/her own record.

1.3 Description
The user will be playing as the zombie and jumping around the course to gather
maximum points. The more a user jumps, the more score the user will score. It is a
competitive game where the user will try each time to beat the previous highest score
which he/she scored. The user will start the game and then hit the go button. As soon as
the user hits the go button, he/she will be redirected to the main-game page and then will
be playing as the zombie. There will be various obstacles coming in the user’s way or
say zombie’s way. The user will have to jump when the obstacles comes to score more.
The jumping action will be performed with the space bar. If the user is not able to figure
out something and requires help then there will be a instruct page which will guide the
user will all the rules and all the aspects of the game. If the user is having a problem,
then this page will easily solve it and then the user can once again play the game with
ease and full energy. There is one more page which will be there due to the content
usage credits. Credits are the most important. Giving credits to the rightful owner is
must. All the items which will be used in the game to build it will be given credit.
1.4 Key Features
One of the most important feature of this zombie game is jump with the use of the
spacebar. The user will be able to perform a jump movement whenever he/she sees an
obstacle coming their way. Jump  right direction.
Scoreboard is there to record the score whenever a zombie successfully jumps over an
obstacle. This particular feature is really useful as this is the main point on which the
user will get motivated. Every time the user will play the game to make a high score and
then beat that score in the next game.
Obstacles are added to make the game fun and interactive. The user will use the jump to
overcome the obstacles.
Background music is added for the users to feel more fun.
1.5 Genre
This is an Adventure game which is based on the zombie theme so the Genre is
Scary-Adventure.
1.6 Target Audience
The target age group of this game is 12 years and more. The reason behind this age group is that
a player should be in the teenage at the least to play this game as this is a zombie game and
consists of music that is scary so, not be the perfect choice for players less than 12 years of age.

1.7 Concept Map
Basically this is a zombie game where the user will playing as the zombie and running &
jumping over the obstacles to score more. The zombie theme is very attractive. The
zombie will be walking across and jumping over the obstacles. The user will have to
jump over the obstacles to score a point. The more a user jump, the more they score. The
score will be recorded for the future purposes where the user will break his/her own high
score and challenge to beat the next high score. The user will first land on the game page
where he/she will play as the zombie and then jump over the obstacles to score points.
The user with the help of the spacebar will jump over the obstacles and then their high
score will be noted down. If any point of time the user thinks that he/she is having a
problem with the overall gameplay then he/she can click on the help page button which
will redirect them to the instruction page where all the instructions are written for helping
the users solve their problem. A credit page is also introduced in this game which will be
used to give credits to all the contents used in the designing of this game. Credits are
important as the content we are putting in our game is created by someone else. So,
giving the credits to the rightful creator will indeed help us in understanding the value of
the credits and designing.
1.8 Platform
In this game the development is done in such a way that the game will run on various
platforms. This game is developed using the GWD which is a web platform. This game
will run on any platform which has internet running and just need a good browser to run
the game and play. It is basically a web based platform and will run on any Operating
System with internet connectivity.

1.9 Market Analysis
This game is based on the zombie theme so it is kind of scary. So, the market analysis
says that the age groups of 12 and more will be the most attracted. Small kids below the
age of 12 will not be liking this game as it consists of scary sounds and they are
sometimes scared of playing the scary games alone. But overall this game will be a good
competition to other games present in the market. There are very less games in the
market where the user challenges him/her on the basis of the score that they scored.
Breaking your own high score is something very challenging and every user likes this so
this game will flourish. Giving it a theme like zombie will indeed attract users to try this
game and finally play it for fun and competition with themselves. Not just a single user
will compete with themselves but also with the friends and family to beat the high score.
