4.Painted Canvas Trick1. BackgroundWhile in Africa, Arthurs grandfather used a large canvas

painted to look like a landscape to confuse animals attacking

his tent. They would see the canvas and assume there is no-

one there, as all they would see is the landscape painted on

the canvas.

2. ScenarioArthur, Selenia and Betameche are camping outside the Minimoy city, waiting for a group of Minimoys

to join them. They are warned about a group ofSeides (bad guys) about to attack. But our heroes are

prepared. They unroll the painted canvas, prop it up around the tent and wait.

3. Gameplay The game is played in top view - the

player is in the centre, inside the

tent, holding a lever that turns the

whole canvas (blue)

Friendly and allied units spawn atrandom intervals from all sides of

the screen and move toward the

centre of the screen/tent

The player pushes the lever so thatthe gap moves to keep enemies outand allow friendlies to get in

Any unit, enemy or friendly, thattouches the canvas dies

The movement speed of allincoming units increases with time

When an enemy enters the gap, thegame is over

The number of friendlies saved istracked and displayed at the end

Controls: Player turns the canvas by moving the mouse to the left or right Variation: Having more than one gap or making harder levels by increasing the number of gaps

5.Swordfighting Turntable Fight Sequence1. Background and ScenarioIn Arthur and the Invisibles, there is a swordfight

sequence on top of a giant turntable, which this

concept is based on. Inspired by:

http://www.flashrolls.com/shooting-games/Sword-

Fight-Flash-Game.htm

2. Gameplay The game is played in 3rd person back view, with

a side-scrolling background that gives the

impression that the player is standing on top of

a spinning turntable

The player has a target on his sword (graycircles), which he has to overlap with thetargets on enemies and then click to

attack/defend

Enemies appear as the background scrollssideways

If the enemy has a red target on his sword, itmeans he will attack you in x sec , so the player

needs to overlap his target with the enemys

and wait for the attack, whereupon a block will

occur If the enemy has a green target on his body, it

means he is vulnerable for x sec, so the player

needs to overlap his target with the enemys

and left-click, whereupon he will attack the

enemy and kill him

Every time the players get hit, they lose acertain amount of health

When the player health is 0, the game is over,and the number of enemies slain is displayed

Enemy about to attack

Enemy vulnerable

Overlapping of targets

to block in this case

6.Tunnel Race1. BackgroundIn the first Arthur movie, there is a scene where our heroes are escaping through a tunnel, in a wind-up

toy car.

2. Gameplay Tunnel Race is a fast-paced driving game in 3rd

person view, where players drive through a

tunnel, which scrolls towards them

Controls: Players can move the car left andright by moving the mouse in that direction

The car itself always stays in the same spot atthe bottom centre of the screen, while the

tunnel (background) itself turns to give the

appearance that the car is moving

The car can even drive at the top of thetunnelgravity doesnt matter in this game

There are obstacles in the tunnel that spawnrandomly and, when players hit obstacle, they

dont slow down, but the obstacle is

destroyed (obstacles can simply be rubble)

When players hit 3 obstacles, the game is overthe players totaldistance is displayed

Alternatively, the insect-vehicles from Arthur 2 can also be usedReference -http://www.goplay247.com/game/2984/Tunnel-Racer.html

7.River Rafting1. BackgroundThis mini-game is inspired by the river-rafting

scene in Arthur and the Invisibles. In it, Arthur ties

a rope to his sword, throws it at a tree on the

riverbank and then pulls the raft along.

2. Gameplay This is a fast-paced game played in top view. There is no scrolling as such, but the river flows

towards the bottom of the screen

Players find themselves in a raft on a swift-flowing river, and they have to try and get as farupstream as possible

They can do this by pointing and clicking at one of the trees on the riverbank this launches thesword (which is tied to the raft by a long rope) at the tree, where it gets stuck

The raft is then automatically pulled towards the tree and comes to rest in the water near thetree

The player then clicks on another tree further up, pulls the raft to it, and so on There are randomly spawning logs floating in the river, which destroy the raft when they hit it,

ending the game

The rivers path curves randomly, but is always vertical, and its speed increases steadily The total distance travelled by the player is recorded and displayed at the end

8.Attraction Harshal Chheda1. BackgroundIn the Arthur universe, there is a creature like a fuzzy ball, the males called

Romeos and the females, Juliets. They have a strong attraction for each

other and whenever they are separated, they pull towards each other like

magnets.

2. The Idea2 Romeos and 1 Juliet are placed in round metal bowls, and released inside an ice-skating rink. The Juilet

has to try and run from the Romeos, who dash towards her as soon as theyre released. The concept is

based onhttp://www.fupa.com/play/Other-free-games/attraction.html.

3. Gameplay This game is very simple to play. The red circles (Romeos) will always move towards the green

circle (player, Juliet), but since they cant stop, they will slip and slide all over the place

Controls: The player moves the green circle (Juliet) with the mouse directly The objective is to avoid touching the red circles (Romeos) The game is over when the red circles (Romeos) touch the green circle (Juliet) 5 times As in the reference game, there is no collision between the circles (Romeos and Juliets), they

just pass through each other although this can be tuned to be different

All circles (Romeos and Juliets) bounce off walls (same way as reflection of light) From a technical standpoint, it is useful to know that the physics are quite simple, and based on

laws of gravity (I actually got the Romeos in a pretty stable orbit around Juliet at one point)

There is an issue that it will be hard to let the player play as one of the 3 main characters
