Numpad Hero

Side Note
-----------
For those of you who didn't read my first post, I won't put
any images related to my games until I find an artist capable
of doing good 2D graphics. Also, I'll probably post a demo
version of this game as soon as the graphics are remade because
the game engine is pretty much completed.

Summary of the game
-------------------------
The goal of the game is pretty much like Guitar Hero, but using
the numpad. A number goes from the top of the screen all to way
to the bottom. You must press the corresponding key when it reaches
its appropriate "Success Square". The game is quite forgiving as to
when you press the key; you can press it a little bit before the
square, or a little after. If you succeed, the key goes in flames,
your score increases according to the multiplier, which is increased
every 10 succesful note streak, and your success percentage is also
augmented. However, if you fail, your note streak is reset to zero
and your multiplier returns to 1.

When you reach the end of the song, you automatically pass it if you
have over 60%, and you're rewarded with prize money. The more
succesful you are, the more money you get. If you have less than
60% though, you fail and must try again until you succeed.

With the money you gain from succesfully clearing a song, you can buy
new songs, create new songs, buy new numpads and item power-ups.
Some items are very expensive and require you to obtain special
privileges aquired by beating all songs on a certain difficulty.


Main characteristics of the game:
---------------------------------------
Very high replay value

 Clearing songs after songs without real reward
 isn't fun at all. That's why in Numpad Hero, you are rewarded for
 everyting you do. Succeed well and you earn more money. Beat many
 songs and earn privileges to gain access to a bigger selection at the
 shop. Speaking of the shop, there are so many things you can buy that
 it never gets boring. Even after you have bought everything, it's not
 even over yet! The game lets any player create his own song using the
 create a song tool. Still not convinced? What about multiplayer
(hopefully) fun? With different game modes such as score attack and
battle mode, the fun can never stop!

Very accessible gameplay

So many games in this day and age require the player to have some
video game skills. Not so with Numpad Hero! From the moment you
start the game all the way to the end, everyone can enjoy it. If a
beginner is not yet ready to move on to a higher difficulty level, he
can still practice in easy or medium. The game has become too easy
for you? Why not create your own more difficult song? And if you
don't care about all the gizmos in the store, well you're not forced to
buy anything. The menus are also very easy to navigate and the user
interface is very friendly.

That will be all for this post, and frankly that's quite enough. In a
future post, I'll write the things you can buy from the shop as well as
give further information of the item power-ups and the other
numpads.
