Visual and Audio Style
Audio Style - Assets
No narrative audio in this game.
There is only 3 types of Audio in the game so far.
1. Cheesy Space Music
2. Fire Sounds for both Zip and Zaps Attacks
3. Game Over Music
The music is quite cheesy 8 bit music, I believe the music helps convey what the game is about. Music is very important as it can help pull a player into the game, like they were really there. My inspiration came from the movie Alien vs Predator, that style of music was fantastic and did exactly what it was suppose to do.
Based in space 'Zip and Zap Universe Heroes' has very vivid bright blue colours to help convey the idea of being in Space. The background for most levels has the basics of Space - stars, planets and bright lights. This is quite fun to look at as well as being quite relaxed.
The platform Zap run's on is quite abstract and futuristic, with bright blue colours. It's also a side scroller to give the impression that you are traveling through space.
The characters especially Zip and Zap are very playful looking characters. They look like they come from the future, and easily look like the Superheroes of the future, who could kick some evil ass!
When you get onto the platform levels the background changes in old 8 bit space games, this try's to add the humour side of the game.
