Wipe Up - My First Video Game

Wipe Up --- My first video game

Sitting at my table, trying to come up with any ideas for my first video game.

Something big, with dozens of mazes and puzzles? Not feasible... 
Something fancy, with delicate artwork? Em, not enough time...

Lost in my daydreams, I suddenly recalled the scenes of my childhood. When I was playing alone in my room, as a little child, I would always 'give life' to the stuffs around me, and imagine the chess pieces as heros, the books as walls, the bottles as castles...

Then the tissue ball on my table attracted my attention. What if I 'give life' to it and give it an adventure in my room? It is actually what I have done years ago, when I was a child full of imagination. However I almost forget how to play with my daydreams after growing up...

After playing with all the stuffs in my room for an afternoon, I came up with my sketch for my first video game.

The hero of this game is the little ball of tissue. It can move round, jump, and interact with some of the stuffs in the scene. At the beginning, it knocked over a box of ink and split many ink dots. As a result, the adventure is to wipe up all the ink dots in different scenes.


I did some origami to create the actors of my game.

I'm going to make them live in the game.


With the sketch, I took several pictures of my table and photoshoped them.
