Fast Food Burger Paradise

Core Mechanics:

1) The dragging and dropping of towers to deal with the A.I.

2) Cow exterminator & vegetarian restaurant to deal with oddities in the cow(disease) and human(vegetarians) A.I.s (Players can drag A.I. into oddity remover).

3) Player has the ability to spawn his own A.I.(quality assurance person/vegetarian enthusiast) and also has the ability to cast spells to instantly get rid of the oddities in the A.I.s(cleanse)(no cow disease)(no vegetarians).

4) Towers and AI can both be upgraded, special bonuses received when they reach their highest level.

5) Ammo is required for the meat-shooting towers to function and hit the meat eaters, which is the meat gotten from killing the cows. Gold will be obtained when the meat eaters are satisfied with the meat.

6) Special enemy AI such as the sick cow, which will cost ammo used for the meat-shooting towers to be contaminated, causing adverse effects to the humans.

A.I Behaviour

Player starts off in the jungle. Simple enemy AI’s like the cow and the meat eater starts spawning and the meat tenderizer and burger outlet towers are already present to show the player how these towers work.

At the top left hand corner of the game shows the amount of resources you have to build your towers, gold for the meat tenderizer and meat for the burger towers. Gold coins are used to buy and upgrade towers and your own AI/spells, while meat is used as ammo for the meat tenderizers.

At the bottom left corner of the game shows the different towers available to be bought. Towers can be placed on the designated spots which have a sign post.

At the bottom part of the game where the path of the enemy AIs will end is a corporate building of the fast food chain, the corporation will lose shares when the AIs reach it. The building will visually become more destroyed until it reaches 0 share, which is when the player had lost.

Tower Placement

In the second level, the UI buttons on the bottom right of the game will be unlocked and players are now able to see the symbols of the abilities that they could do . New enemy AI’s such as the sick cow and the vegetarians spawn to cause trouble to the players, sick cows and vegetarians will cost more damage to the corporate shares. Meat from the sick cows will also cause consumers to run 1.5x faster and make them do 2x the damage to corporate shares.

Players are then prompted to drag the exterminator and jungle towers to deal with these new enemy AI’s.

User Interface

In the 3rd stage, players can use their special abilities to either slow down time or to cure all the oddities in the AI’s. They can also spawn their own special AI’s to deal with the oddities in the enemy AI’s. While you can click and drag the AI to the level, you are able to see a green circle around it which shows its effective range. When you click on a tower, you can also see it’s effective range along with it’s new range if you were to upgrade it. There are also 3 icons around the tower when you click on it, an icon which enables you to sell it for half its total cost, an icon to upgrade the tower and also an icon to show the stats and information about the tower.

In addition, the player’s corporate tower is added in the 3rd stage at the bottom of the screen. Whenever unsatisfied customers go past the tower, damage to it is indicated with dollar signs to show lost in market shares. Physical damage will also be seen on the building over time.The player loses the stage when their corporate tower is completely destroyed, indicating them losing business and market shares.
