Steam-Bee Game 1. The Genre and mechanics The Genre of the game will be primarily steampunk and the main mechanics will be flying and collecting pollen. The steampunk elements will be shown in the general aesthetic of the world and the characters, lots of brass cogs and wheels, steam powered machinery, and a smokey sepia theme to the world. 3 Successful games of the genre - Bioshock Infinite (IGN 9.5/10) The Order 1886 (IGN 6.5/10) Styx Master of Shadows (IGN 7.2/10) 2.

3 Lessons from the first level of cup head 1. Tight responsive controls make a platforming game much better, if the controls feel slow and drifty the movement will be less intuitive. 2. The level was very hectic, there were enemies and obstacles coming at the player from every angle. This makes the level extremely hard to complete but the sense of reward the player gets from just getting further than the previous attempt feel very rewarding. 3. The music and visuals of Cup Head play a very important role in the game. Without the very stylised art direction and the jazzy soundtrack the game would be totally different and probably a pretty generic platformer.
