GAME SUMMARY & FLOW• GAME SUMMARY

• ACCELERATOR JOE IS A MAN WITH A DREAM OF BEATING HIS FATHER’S WORLD RECORD ON THE WORLD’S MOST INFAMOUS AND DANGEROUS TRACK, DANGER FREEWAY. ACCELERATOR JOE HAS DEVISED A PLAN TO REACH CERTAIN CHECKPOINTS ON DANGER FREEWAY IN ORDER TO BEAT HIS DAD’S RECORD, HOWEVER IT WON’T BE A SIMPLE TASK. DANGER FREEWAY IS A DANGEROUS, UNMAINTAINED ROAD WITH BOULDERS, OIL SPILLS, BROKEN ROAD, SECRET PASSAGES AND DEAD ENDS. HELP ACCELERATOR JOE ACHIEVE HIS DREAM BY AVOIDING OBSTACLES, REACHING THE CHECKPOINTS, AND FINDING THE SECRET SHORTCUTS THAT WILL HELP HIM SUCCEED

• GAME FLOW• THE PLAYER WILL BE ON A FAST PACED COURSE

VIEWING FROM A TOP DOWN PERSPECTIVE. THEY WILL HAVE TO MAINTAIN SPEED WHILE AVOIDING RANDOMLY GENERATED OBSTACLES ON THE ROAD, BY MANEUVERING WITH THE ARROW KEYS. THERE ARE NO PUZZLES JUST QUICK THINKING SKILLS. AS THE PLAYER HITS MORE CHECKPOINTS THE CLOSER THEY ARE TO BEATING THE GAME, THE GAME DOES NOT SAVE AT THE CHECKPOINTS THOUGH, THEY RESET THE TIME. THE PLAYER SHOULD GRADUALLY BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO AVOID EACH OBSTACLE WHILE GOING FAST. IF THE PLAYER REACHES ALL THE CHECKPOINTS THEN THEY WIN THE GAME

CHARACTER & CONTROLS

ACCELERATOR JOE IS A 25 YEAR OLD MAN, WHO’S OBSESSED WITH RACING. ACCELERATOR JOE WAS BORN

IN A RACING FAMILY, AND HE ALWAYS LOOKED UP TO HIS DAD ACCELERATOR DAN, WHO HELD THE FASTEST

RACE RECORD FOR THE DANGER FREEWAY IN THE WORLD. WHEN HE FINALLY BECAME OLD ENOUGH TO DRIVE, ACCELERATOR JOE BECAME DETERMINED TO DEFEAT HIS DAD’S RECORD ON DANGER FREEWAY. ACCELERATOR JOE IS AN EAGER, DETERMINED GUY,

FACING CHALLENGES HEAD ON. ACCELERATOR JOE IS JUST AN GOOD RACER WITH NO SPECIAL ABILITIES

THE PLAYER CAN USE THE ARROW KEYS OR WASD KEYS TO MOVE ACCELERATOR JOE.

GAME PLAY• THE GAME STARTS AT THE STARTING LINE AT DANGER FREEWAY, WITH FANS CHEERING

ON ACCELERATOR JOE. IT IS A STRAIGHT ROAD SO THE PLAYER ONLY NEEDS TO ACCELERATE FOR THE FIRST COUPLE SECONDS. THE SIDES OF THE ROAD IS FILLED WITH DIRT AND SAND. AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS THERE WILL BE OBSTACLES GENERATED, BUT EASILY AVOIDABLE, AS THE GAME GOES ON HOWEVER THEY BECOME INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO EVADE. THE PLAYER ONLY HAS 1 MINUTE 30 SECONDS TO GET TO EACH CHECKPOINT AND WHEN THEY DO REACH THE CHECKPOINT, AS INDICATED BY A FLAG, THE TIME WILL RESET TO 1 MINUTE 30 SECONDS. EACH CHECKPOINT IS FURTHER THAN THE PREVIOUS ONE WAS TO IT, MEANING THE PLAYER WILL NOT ONLY NEED TO AVOID ALL THE OBSTACLES BUT MAINTAIN AN INCREDIBLY FAST PACE. THERE ARE SECRET PASSAGES BUT THEY ARE VERY WELL CONCEALED AND WOULD PROBABLY REQUIRE MULTIPLE PLAYTHROUGHS BEFORE BEING DISCOVERED.

GAME WORLD• GAME WORLD

• THE GAME WORLD IS A SIMPLE ONE, IT IS A LONG ROAD, WITH HIDDEN SHORTCUTS, AND DIRT ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD. DANGER FREEWAY IS THE MOST DANGEROUS ROAD IN THE WORLD SO THERE ARE SIGNS SAYING “CAUTION” AND “DO NOT ENTER”. THE ROAD IS OLD AND UNMAINTAINED. THE SHORTCUTS ARE HIDDEN DIRT PATHS, THAT ARE NOT VERY NOTICEABLE, BUT ARE SECRETLY INDICATED BY THE ENVIRONMENT BY SIGNS, OR ODDLY PLACED PLANTS.• DANGER FREEWAY IS IN THE DESERT SO SANDY, DIRT LIES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD, AND

OCCASIONALLY SPILLS OUT ON THE TRACK (DECORATIVE, NOT AN OBSTACLE). THERE ARE OCCASIONAL CACTUS, AND SIGNS BUT THE MAIN FOCUS IS THE ROAD ITSELF.• THERE IS AN EXCITING TONE, WITH INTENSE CAR SOUNDS AND EXCITING MUSIC, MAKING THE

PLAYER WANT TO GO SONIC FAST (2FAST5ME) ON THE COURSE• THE WORLD IS PRIMARILY ONE WINDY ROAD WITH OCCASIONAL HIDDEN SHORTCUTS

GAME EXPERIENCE• FEEL• THE WORLD HAS A THRILLING, EXCITING FEEL• THE PLAYER STARTS OUT AT THE STARTING LINE WITH AN EXCITED CROWD CHEERING

HIM ON• THE PLAYER IS SUPPOSED TO BE EAGER AND EXCITED TO DODGE THOUGH ALL THE

HAZARDS• THE MUSIC IS SUPPOSED TO MAKE THE PLAYER SUPER HYPE• THE ROAD IS A SINGLE LONG ROAD

GAMEPLAY MECHANICS• MECHANICS• THE ONLY MECHANIC THAT THE PLAYER CONTROLS IS THE CAR, AND NOTHING

ELSE

• HAZARDS• ROCKS, BREAKS IN THE ROAD, OIL SPILLS, SIGNS

• POWER-UPS• NONE, BUT THERE ARE HIDDEN SHORTCUTS

• COLLECTABLES• N/A

ENEMIES

• THERE ARE NO ENEMIES IN THIS GAME, THE MAIN ANTAGONISTS ARE TIME AND ROAD HAZARDS, BUT NOBODY IS ACTIVELY TRYING TO STOP ACCELERATOR JOE FROM BEATING ACCELERATOR DAN’S RECORD

CUT SCENES• BEGINNING

• WHEN THE PLAYER STARTS THE GAME THERE WILL BE A QUICK SKIPPABLE CUT SCENE, ANIMATED TO LOOK LIKE A COMIC BOOK WHERE WE SEE ACCELERATOR JOE WATCH HIS DAD, ACCELERATOR DAN SET THE RECORD ( 7 MIN 31 SEC) ON DANGER FREEWAY. WE SEE A QUICK THOUGHT BOX WITH ACCELERATOR JOE CLAIMING TO WANT TO BEAT HIS DAD’S RECORD ONE DAY, THEN THERE IS A TIME SKIP AND WE SEE AN ADULT ACCELERATOR JOE WITH A THOUGHT BOX SAYING “TODAY IS THE DAY!”

• END• WHEN THE PLAYER BEATS THE GAME THERE WILL BE A SHORT CUT SCENE WHERE ACCELERATOR JOE

GETS A BIG TROPHY, AND WE SEE AN OLDER ACCELERATOR DAN GIVING HIM A THUMBS UP AND A WINK (WINK WINK)

BONUS MATERIALS• UNLOCKABLES?

• UNLOCKABLE CARS ARE UNLOCKED WHEN THE PLAYER FIRST BEATS THE GAME, EACH CAR REQUIRES A FASTER GAME COMPLETION TIME TO UNLOCK, EACH CAR UNLOCKED IS FASTER THAN THE LAST. FOR EXAMPLE IF THE PLAYER BEATS THE GAME IN 5 MIN, THEN THEY’D UNLOCK THE CARS WITH A “BEAT THE GAME IN 6 MINUTES” AND BEAT THE GAME IN 7 MINUTES” GOALS, BUT THE FORMER WOULD BE MUCH FASTER THAN THE LATTER

• INCENTIVE• THE PLAYER CAN ATTEMPT TO BEAT THEIR OWN SCORE AND UNLOCK FASTER CARS WITH EACH

PLAYTHROUGH, WHILE ALSO DISCOVERING THE SECRET PASSAGEWAYS

• SEQUEL?• THERE WILL BE A FUTURE SEQUEL CALLED DANGER HIGHWAY, THAT TAKES PLACE ON DANGER HIGHWAY,

WHICH IS A DANGEROUS HIGHWAY, WHERE ACCELERATOR JOE TRIES TO BEAT HIS MOM’S, ACCELERATOR JAN’S, RECORD ON DANGER HIGHWAY, THE MOST DANGEROUS HIGHWAY IN THE WORLD, WITH A SERIOUS REPUTATION FOR BEING AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS HIGHWAY, FULL OF DANGEROUS TRAPS, ALL ON A HIGHWAY WHICH MANY CONSIDER DANGEROUS.
