THE TITLE:
Breadbug
What an original name. We couldn't have seen that one coming a mile away. Anyhow, basically, you...are a Breadbug. I haven't figured out a complete story yet, but for the most part, you just be a Breadbug. It would be pretty slow-paced, as Breadbugs are (Stopping for a moment every time they come out of their holes, moving slowly, etc). Health would be determined by a number that would decrease when you took damage--Your max would be a paltry 30 at the start, but you'd get health expansions. You'd scuttle around and look for things to take to your hole. For defense, you could give headbutts and kicks, and once you upgraded enough you'd be able to get small weapons, like a mini cannon that would attach to your back, aim, and fire. You'd see creatures from the series wandering around, doing their thing, and so on...Most wouldn't attack you, but if you can kill one, it'll pay a lot when you drag the body to your hole. Breadbugs are mostly scavengers, though, so you would come by after creatures fight each other to get the goods. For instance, you could get some half-eaten Sheargrubs a Bulborb attacked.
Pikmin would also be enemies--They'd try to take your things in tug-of-war and such. There would be timed button-presses for tug-of-war, but a single headbutt kills a Pikmin and they can't hurt you unless there are loads of 'em or they jump down on you. Upon getting upgrades, you could switch what kind of Breadbug you are. Vanilla, Wheat, Rye, etc. They'd have their own abilities like high HP, high speed, high attack power, high dragging strength, and so on. As Breadbugs aren't the most mobile of creatures, you would have to be creative to solve puzzles, setting up toys and things in the Glutton's Kitchen to make a contraption to break down a wall or whatever. You would also dig your tunnels and den in sidescroller fashion, where you could switch your kind of Breadbug, cash in creatures and treasures for Butter (The Breadbug currency), go to sleep, and a few other things.
I think the story would have something to do with the Pikmin making a massive army and sweeping through, but I'm not sure. There would definitely be bosses that would test your skill, however. Other Breadbugs would help you, and you could have up to four following you at a time to get the biggest treasures and solve the hardest puzzles. The areas in the game would be anything from Pikmin 2, as well as the places in Pikmin that didn't appear in the sequel. Lots of new areas, though!
So, overall, it'd be a slow-paced action-puzzle game. I may add more later...thoughts?
