Super Pierino

About Super Pierino

Super Pierino is a Super Hero created as part of the ComeBackToSchool project. A project that aims to use the video game as a tool to combat early school leaving, leveraging on
motivational aspects of the kids.

Super Pierino is a Super Hero who has the task of returning to school.
The difficulties to be overcome are represented by the resistances (low
self-esteem, laziness, bullying, ..). In this game, resistances are represented by huge viruses.

Super Pierino has the task of avoiding this resistance and returning to school to continue the normal school year.

The game mechanics.
Mechanics are the key actions a player must perform and become good at in order to be able to win. A mechanic is used where the player touches and holds the screen to power up the ship.
This upgrade will cause the ship to rise on the screen, but it will also do so
accelerate and therefore will be more vulnerable. When the player removes the finger, the thrust motor shuts down and the ship falls down and decelerates, making it slightly less vulnerable. Therefore, a very fine and masterful balance of empowerment and non-enhancement is required to survive
strengthening.
Super Pierino is obviously heavily inspired by Flappy Bird.
The goal is to complete the mission. Then, the player can repeat the game several times to try to beat their own fastest time. Obviously to go faster, the player must upgrade more frequently and put Super Peter in greater danger.

Rules of the game.
Here we define the things that balance the game and make it fair and consistent for the player:
• The player's ship is much stronger than resistances. This is because the player's ship has shields. Whenever the player collides with a resistance, the resistance is immediately destroyed, but the player loses a shield. The player has three shields.
• The player will have to travel a certain number of kilometers to finish the mission.
• Each time the player finishes the mission, he wins the game. If his time was the fastest, this will be the new fastest time, like a higher score.
• The resistances will appear at a random height on the far right of the screen and fly towards the player at a random speed.
The player is always positioned on the far left of the screen, but boosting means the resistances are approaching faster.
