Game Idea - Bboying (Breakdancing)

[Andy Tran]

 Bboying (Breakdancing) never dies. This is just a game based on the dance style. It's not really a real game, just a idea. I must stress on the terminology, it's BBOYING. Not breakdancing. Breakdancing is a media term made up by a reporter, not the real guys who created the dance itself.

 

 

 

 

 Game Title: Super Cypher Showdown
 Genre: Fighting/Dancing
 System: GBA
 Gameplay: A Turn based game to test your skills in dancing.  Each dancer takes turn to show off their move "sets". The winner depends on the judge of the game. Players choose up to 8 dancers. Each dancer with their own moves of breaking and "style".

Looks like I could buy it from wal-mart right now! All I suggest is that you make the outlines for the charecters (the white outline) thicker in the 2nd screenshot ie:
This:
vs. this.

The building looks very out-of-perspective in the third and fourth pictures. Also, in the title screen, the text is very strenuous to read at 1x.

I'd say the text needs a little work - try looking at Courier at 12pt without aa - or any number of pixel-fonts out there for some design ideas.

hey andy!  fun idea, the player sprite in the last frame is great.  But (here comes the blunt) everything else is awful!  The title screen text and background is really terrible, and basically unreadable.  Not sure what "cypher" actually has to do with bboying or breakdancing?  The player select screen's generic anime portraits are boring and silly, and the UI is too muddy and indistinct.  The perspective on the background is extreme and confusing, and the crowd/audience are not only cloned but appear to have been made in about 4 minutes, especially their pants.  Finally while I am loving that player sprite in the last frame, his hat looks more like a bucket hat in that frame, than the baseball cap present in the others.  Can't wait to see some revisions on these, they're gonna be awesome!

cypher = rap battle

I agree with pretty much everything which has been said, although i like the way that hat morphs (looks like a motion blur).

Would like to see this take form more

Thanks guys. Yeah that logo is pretty much like a sketch. I was too lazy to make it stand out. It's like a sketch. For the word cypher, it means an open circle formed by the dancers to have their battles.

We must be from pretty different places; here "cypher" has nothing to do with bboying, it's freestyling

Figured as much about the Title, though part of me asks why show it then?....
