There are various types of games that can be developed for the multi-touch tabletop. They are role-playing, tile-based, board, card, dice, miniature and paper & pencil.

After much consideration, role-playing games was chosen. This is the result of the role-playing games genre gaining popularity among people of all walks of life.

After doing some research and having countless group discussions, we decided to base our game on the popular game ‘Worms’. The idea of creating a bright and cartoon-styled animation with a arsenal of weapons caught the group’s attention.

We then decided to create a two-player game where the objective is to defeat the other player with their individual arsenal of weapons. The players’ movements are restricted to a certain region of the tabletop.

In the arsenal of weapons, there is a super weapon which inflicts the most single damage. The other weapons can only inflict lower amount of damage.

We did a verbal survey and the general consensus seemed to be the monkey and the jungle theme. So we decided the monkey to be our avatar and have a jungle-themed background.

The following are screenshots from the game:
