Isometric views

 4 Arm mounted blast shield- Expanding energy shield to block projectiles.Constant barrage of things flying at player that they must block. Recharges over time, so player must use the shield wisely or they will be smushed.
  5 Tractorbeam gun- Energy gun that pulls objects within a certain distance toward player.Build your own route out of a pit using debris.  Climb up similar to escaping the planet in the metroid game. Make wise decisions while using the machine however, you only  have a certain number of uses.

. 6 Dematerializing backpack. Gives players the ability to walk and see through solid walls. Cheat your way though a maze where some walls are not solid, but also some floors are not, so step carefully.

10 Toy ideas


1 Water powered Jetpack- Tanks on the back will be filled with water and deplete over time. Short bursts to overcome short obstacles but unable to get much lift without depleting entire tank. Think sunset overdrive with just the jumping mechanic.


2 Rocket Rollerblades- Two wheeled roller blades with articulated rockets on each side of the foot. Fast travel option but if the player hits walls too much they will explode due to the highly volatile fuel. Game would be a race when extra fuel is picked up quickly, but missing one or two may cause the player to stall.

3 Claw-based wall climbing gloves- self explanatory. Kind of like a cat climbing a scratching post. Retractable. Verticle based gameplay.

4 Arm mounted blast shield- Expanding energy shield to block projectiles.Constant barage of things flying at player that they must block. Recharges over time, so player must use the shield wisely or they will be smushed.

5 Tractorbeam gun- Energy gun that pulls objects within a certain distance toward player.Build your own route out of a pit using debris.

6 Dematerializing backpack. Gives players the ability to walk and see through solid walls. Cheat your way though a maze where some walls are not solid, but also some floors are not, so step carefully.


7 Shockwave cannon-  push force from center of gun out to push enemies and obstacles away. Big burst with gradual power recharge. Can be used before full charge, but will be less powerful. Sort of a mix between the idea of TF2's sniper and Samus from Metroid's charge cannon.

8 winged backpack- allows upward and forward boost for short time; cannot stay airborne for long. Flapping of some sort cause that's just super cool. Vertical based platformer, like escaping at the end of a Metroid level.

9 Fire extinguishing vortex glove. – Spiral of air shoots out of palm to push out fires and give a slight push to objects. Escape the burning building, find air pockets to reabsorb oxygen or you will suffocate and your extinguisher will run out of air.

10 Propeller backpack. Similar to a quad copter, 4 articulating propellers mounted to a central backpack. Allows for hovering but is prone to failing if player hits roof.
