Health Scare(subject to change)
2D Space Arcade Game - now with more fruit! (Potential 3D!)

Hi! Wes again for round 2! Once again, thank you for your interest in this game!
This one is, for now, called Health Scare. It's a top down arcade shooter where you battle hordes of fruits and vegetables in a fight to be as slathered in deep fried goodness as possible. Similar to the classic game Asteroids, your ship will engage in combat with various fruits and veggies that explode into smaller pieces before total eradication. Here's a short list of some examples of how that might work:
Pineapples explode into rings, which explode into chunks
Apples split in half and then into quarter slices
Grape bundles separate into individual grapes
Onions lose their layers, becoming smaller and faster
Celery stalks shrink as pieces get blasted off
Watermelons become slices which become slices and then chunks(which, if you want, can explode the seeds in a small radius)
Of course, no ship battles the enemy of nutrition alone. Collect power ups to like the ones below to boost your odds of surviving the health scare:
Tub o' Lard - gain the ability to use a shield of animal fat; drains with usage; collect more to restore
Deep Fried Chicken - boost your firepower to shoot more often
Butter - temporary corrosive effect on targets
Choco Bar - Modify firing type to shoot more things at once(ie, shoot two rounds in separate directions)
Lollipop - temporary invincibility
Mint Candy - enter Candy Rage mode; shoot TOFY(Tyranny Of Fatty Yummy-ness) for a short time, obliterating everything
As pointed out on Wednesday, this proposal has a really good chance as a 3D game as well. A flight simulator base would probably be where I would start a 3D attempt, as dodging the fruit that explodes becomes that much more exciting!
However you choose to tackle this idea, I hope you enjoy the sweet taste of victory. Good Luck!
