The character collects treasure in each level to buy new characters and power ups. The document describes the game's plot, progression through levels, lead characters including Captain Grumpy, and plans to make the game unique with its treasure collecting puzzles and storyline. It also includes artwork supporting the game's cartoon style and schedule for developing the game over the coming weeks.

9. USP
From Research, A treasure collecting puzzle
pirate games was rare to find especially on the
android play store. So our game will be unique in
that way.
We also believe that the game has a great story
line and characters
The cartoon feel makes it more appealing for the
younger audience.

10. Research
When doing our research we looked at games such as Sid Meier's pirate
game. To help us gain ideas of what characters would look like, the setting of
the game and what genre we want out game to be, For example weather its an
adventure, quest etc.

11. Research Continued
O’Timber/lil pirates
We did some research and searched pirate
games on our smart phones to see what
type of pirate games are out the and
weather or not we can make our game
unique.
