Toy Pitches
Pitch 1 - Magnetic Field
Concept Statement: "Use the invisible forces to push your way through to the top."
Setting/Mood: Dark, grimy, messy. A closed space with a lot of objects to use and break through walls and the like.
Brief Backstory/Ideas: You remember nothing of how you got here, and the more you try to recall it, the more your head feels like it'll split open. You reach out your hand and the objects around the room fly around you, opposite forces working together and creating a spark. You make a fist and the objects stop their frantic spinning to lash out at the rest of the room, breaking through the debris blocking your way. Determined, you use your new-found powers to seek a way out.
Obstacle Ideas: Objects you can only break after gathering a specific item. Perhaps making it so that you can toggle the sort of objects you want to rotate around you? Or maybe that would be shooting myself in the foot. It would be neat if I could make it so that things spun faster around you the longer they were on you.
Quick Video of Mechanics:
By pressing the assigned key, "F", you can enable and disable the force field around the player. This attracts KActors all over the place, yeehaw!
Bonus death sequence videobecause I am actually 9 years old.
Pitch 2 - Falling platforms and switches
Concept Statement: "Race to the finish!"
Setting/Mood: Dark, grimy, messy. A closed space with a lot of objects to use and break through walls and the like.
Brief Backstory/Ideas: Hop over falling platforms, picking up cargo and bringing it to the the switch.
Obstacle Ideas: Timed? Multiple cargo corresponding to different switches? Different paths can be taken to reach different switches.

Pitch 3 - Lit Up Sound Pad
Concept Statement: "Remember the Tune, Escape the Room"
Setting/Mood: Dark techno dungeon style
Brief Backstory/Ideas: At the start of the level, certain plates will light up. The player must then re-create the correct pattern to unlock the door and escape the room.
Obstacle Ideas: Certain plates light up in a set formation to confuse the player.
