Target Audience:

Environment:

The game takes place at several different times and points in space so the setting ranges from some Earth-like worlds to some bizzare other-worldy environments. The levels are mostly linear but do occasionally include alternate pathways.

Characters:

Duncan - Duncan is a scientist who lost his father when he was young, just as he was coming out of his shell. Because he grew up without a father, Duncan missed out on a lot. There was no one there to teach him how to play sports. There was no one there to teach him about girls. Of course, he had his mom but it just wasn't the same. Duncan was bullied during his school years and often kept to himself. He spent his free time studying hard, trying to find a way to bring his dad back. Duncan is a rather skinny, pale, unathletic turtle. He is quiet and shy, but is a bright turtle who tries to do what's right.

Snap - Snap is the apprentice and good friend of Duncan. Unlike Duncan, Snap was raised by both of his parents. He was into sports and was a very popular turtle. After high school, however, Snap wasn't sure what to do with his life so he turned to his good friend Duncan and has been working with him ever since.

Story:

Duncan is a turtle who lost his dad in the Great War between the Turtles and the Snails. He devotes his life to science and builds a time machine in his shell in hopes to go back in time and save his dad. Unfortunately he makes an error in his calculations and the time machine malfunctions, sending him to random points in time and space. Upon crash landing, his shell releases a wave of time energy, infecting surrounding areas. In order to refuel his time machine and try again, he must harvest the time energy back from the enemies he unintentionally created.

Rules:

The player must progress through a level while collecting time energy from enemies as well as the environment. To stay alive, the player must avoid getting hit by enemies or falling into dangerous pits. Dying results in the loss of one life and the player will continue from the last checkpoint obtained in the level. If the player loses all of his/her lives, a GAME OVER is triggered and the player must start the level over from the beginning. For every 100 time orbs the player collects, he or she is granted with an extra life. Each world will have 2-3 levels along with a boss level at the end. To complete a level, the player must successfully reach the end of the level. To complete a world, the player must defeat the boss of that world.

Simliar Games:

Crash Bandicoot - The gameplay is similar but Shell Shocked is less linear and features a Co-Op mode.
TMNT: Turtles in Time - Has a similar premise of turtles traveling through time. Shell Shocked has an entirely different genre, story, and game mechanic.
