Intro
YumYum Universe is a runner-style game in which you fly around space eating asteroids, moons, planets, and suns to become the fattest being in existence. The player takes on the role of a hungry alien whose sole purpose in life is to eat.
The game operates from a top-down perspective, where you are constantly flying at a fixed speed, dodging objects that are bigger than you to eat the ones that are smaller. You grow bigger as you play, able to gobble up larger and larger objects, similar to Katamari games.
We want the player to feel accomplished as they eat and grow fatter, as they wipe out entire galaxies. That’s the main engagement we’re aiming for, and all aspects of gameplay will work toward making the player feel accomplished.
This design document will detail every aspect of the game to all team members who may have use for this information.
