1.1 Introduction
This game is about a player who has landed in the jungle as the aircraft crashed due to a
technical fault and now the player has to return to the base station. The jungle is full of
wild creatures which are after the player. The player contains a valuable diamond which
is to be protected from the creatures. The creatures are curious to know about the
shinning thing which the player has in his pocket. There are various obstacles in the
jungle which hinders the path of the player. There are various powers present in the
jungle which helps the player to run faster and use ropes to swing. The obstacles are tree
roots and stones. There are various rivers flowing through the jungle which the player
has to cross. The creatures cannot swim so the player is safe from them but the game
isn’t that easy, there are sea creatures which swim in order to stop the player and there
are other obstacles such as stones and turtles. The player has to reach the base so that the
diamond can be safe.
1.2 Background

1.3 Description
The player has a valuable diamond which is to be transferred to another city. If the route
is covered by road then the time is taken and risk would be high so the player preferred
air route. The plane had some technical issue which the player didn’t know before.
While the player was flying over the jungle, the aircraft’s engine stopped working and
the player lost the control over the aircraft and had to make an emergency escape. The
player used a parachute and safely landed in the jungle. This isn’t a happy ending, the
player has to cross the jungle and protect the diamond from the creatures. The jungle has
various obstacles which make the speed of the player slower and increases the chances
of the player to be caught by the creatures. The obstacles are tree roots and stones which
affect when the player hits these things, after hitting these obstacles 3 times the player is
caught. The player doesn’t have something to do with health as the creatures won’t hurt
the player, they will only take the diamond from the player. If the player hits the
obstacles 3 times continuously within the time period of 6 seconds the player is caught.
There are various rivers flowing through the jungle which the player has to cross. The
creatures cannot swim so the player is safe from them but the game isn’t that easy, there
are sea creatures which swim in order to stop the player and there are other obstacles
such as stones and turtles. The player has to reach the base so that the diamond can be
safe.

1.8 Market Analysis (optional)
The age group of young children would prefer to play this game as adults can get an
overview of the game before playing it, they may find it boring as it is a simple game but
young children who haven’t played many games they would be keen to play the game as
the game allows the user to win and this increases positives vibes.

little scary and it uses creatures which develops the bad image in the brain of children.
