It's been a while since the last time I posted. Lately, I have been into rhythm games; like Cytus, Lanota, etc. I am slowly losing interest in match-3 games but that does not mean I am leaving. I still want to hang out with you guys.
And what I want to talk about? Well read the title of the thread.
I thought about combining match-3 shooters with other game genres around 6-10 months ago(?). It was pretty interesting to imagine the results. Say, if I combine Match-3 Shooter with a First Person Shooter.
Well, I'll tell each genre combination (what I think) in detail.
Match-3 Shooter + First Person Shooter
I imagine holding a sphere shooter as a weapon. You have health. If it reaches zero or the spheres reach the pyramid, game over. You have to shoot at the spheres to match 3 or more of the same color for them to pop. You can move freely, but interfering the sphere path can give you damage.
Try shooting the vise with a different weapon? It'll go slower and can go on a stop if shot multiple times.
Is there a reload to the sphere shooter? Yes, you have to reload your sphere shooter. When you run out of spheres to shoot, you have to get spare spheres for you to shoot. One most evil thing that could happen is having a color specific ammo (I'm applying too much realism, am I?)
How do you get powerups? Same mechanic, match 3 sphere chains in a row to earn a powerup, but you have to get them manually. It won't attract to you unless if you have this magnet ability (if that will ever exist.)
Do projectiles (specifically from sphere shooters) collide with buildings, etc.? Yes, they do collide with other things, which tells you to be more careful when playing (wow, am I going too deep?).
How will Net work? It won't. In fact, I would switch it into a magnet powerup if I were to create a game like this.
Match-3 Shooter + Rhythm Game
It's hard to imagine something like this, but here's what I think: A group of spheres will be rushing down to the bottom. You have a "groove meter" and in order to maintain it, you have to keep matching in beat else game over. You have to match them in beat with only 2 buttons, consisting of only 2 different colors of the map's choice. (Left - Color 1, Right - Color 2)
One more thing which I think is interesting is shooting different coloured spheres with your keyboard and using your mouse as a guide (this is becoming osu! now lol.) For 4 keys, you have 4 colors to shoot.
Can you shoot early? No, it has a laser to prevent you from matching the spheres early. In fact, I am combining a Match-3 Shooter with a Rhythm Game.
What if you don't match? Your groove meter goes down, obviously.
Are there powerups? Only Fever and Nerfed Net exists.
What if you shoot at incorrect colors? Instantly a miss because, heck, the spheres move fast.
Have any other game genre you wish to combine? You can post your ideas.
