Big Bad Wyrms

If you were to draw inspiration from the classic side-scroller Silkworm, add in monsters and comedy elements that would be at home in the Tremor movie franchise, bring to life characters that pay tribute (in a  slapstick way) to old TV favourites like Knight Rider and Airwolf, and throw it all back into medieval times  and...no doubt you still won’t rightly know what this is. But it’s a starting point :)  

Using two characters simultaneously (one on the ground, one in the air) the player must build up enough bravery by facing small monsters while at the same time (bravely) avoiding the big bad boss wyrm and steering away from or jumping over other obstacles. Once enough daring deeds have been performed, the player can then take on the big bad boss wyrm.  

Michael “the Knight” is our ground-bound hero, who rides his trusty magical chest with wheels into battle  (fondly known as Kit, as it contains all his equipment). He can jump, attack and possibly even defend himself with a shield, but he doesn’t know where the underground monsters are going to appear or what the best course to take is.  

Enter Wolfgang Hawke “the Air Wolf”. Strapped to his trusty man-lifting kite, this crazy old man in wolf furs is the eyes in the sky, telling Michael where to go by throwing smoke flares, or distracting the big bad boss wyrm at a critical moment so that Michael “the Knight” can get through.
