One Pager - Kinect Courier


Courier

            This is a Kinect game for the Xbox 360. It’s a game on rails where your character must deliver a package from point A to point B along a level filled with enemies firing weapon at you. All movement is controlled automatically; all the player has to do is move his upper body in front of the Kinect, in order to avoid incoming projectiles.

            The game has your character running through multiple environments, each with different themed enemies and obstacles. An urban level has many long jumps across skyscrapers and enemies such as helicopters and snipers. A Jungle level has tribal themed enemies and obstacles like spears and animals. These work with levels in icy regions, volcanic regions, or even flying levels.

            “Boss” battles involve the camera moving from behind the character, to moving to the side of the character, as if viewing the character in profile. The player must also turn to the side relative to the Kinect. In these segments , the character is running in a large circle around the boss. Dodging moves from the boss may result in the boss accidently attacking itself, or “swatting” at switches around the ring can attack the boss. Getting hurt slows you down and reduces your HP. Losing all HP sends you back to your last checkpoint. Levels are also timed, and have shortcuts that are triggered by hitting triggers with your hands.
