Champion runner
High Concept
A high intensity, fast-paced, and interactive running game packed with real-life mechanics & fun.
Game Overview
Game description
You start as an amateur runner who wanted to become a champion. Your personal running coach will be teaching you the basics of the game. You will have physical attributes that will determine your performance during the run. These attributes are monitored by meters within the game. These are the essential attributes in the game: Air, Endurance, Water and Energy. There are also other attributes such as injuries, power ups, and gear.
There are different game modes such as: Solo Run, Sprint, Time Challenge, Fun Run, & Olympics. You can also customize your runner avatar’s appearance, and gear.
When the race / run starts, the avatar will be moving forward automatically on a jog speed. The player can use the sprint button to go faster. Going faster consumes more air, water, and stamina. Resting eventually by slowing down recovers air and stamina. Drinking recovers water. When the player runs out of stamina, the runner will stop and pant for a few seconds. There will be goals each game that the player must accomplish in order to win.
