Hey everyone!

My name is Damon and well I'm a college student.

I have an idea for a 3D runner iOS game, and was hoping I could get some feedback on it! The story would be set in Mythological Greece, and follow the story of a warrior man and beautiful woman who were blessed by Hera and Aphrodite for having (one of) the most powerful love connections between a man and a woman that has ever existed. The man swore to forever fight for love, so long as he could be with her. However, she passed away, and her soul was ferried away from the world of the living, and brought into the Elysian Fields of the Underworld. Enraged and deeply depressed by this, the man set out to gain entrance into the Underworld and succeeds, being one of the few men who has ever entered the Underworld alive. Soon enough, he feels the pull of his soul towards the soul of his lover, and finds floating the Soulstone of his beloved wife, which he takes. Immediately, the Underworld begins to rumble and shake, and demons from Hades appear as fire and brimstones fly from the ground. Realizing his presence in the Underworld was noticed, he quickly turns - and books it.

As the player, your job would be to dodge and duck the fire and obstacles, including jumping over large crevices that erupt in front of you - and climbing up the side of them if you don't make the full jump. Additionally, blocking all those demon arrows with your shield or just swiftly dodging them will also be your task. Sometimes some demons and monsters may get in your way, and it will be up to your trusty sword (or magic powers depending on what you upgrade in the store) to knock them aside.

In other words, this game would be alot more interactive than temple run. The path in which you're running would also be a little wider. The view would be over the shoulder, enough to see the torso of your character. Alot of the time, you'll be faced with obstacles where you have to act fast to slide, jump, or dodge around; and the other time you'll be faced with random things - like a hellbird snatching you off the ground - in which you'll need to press and swipe the right combination of directions as they pop up on the screen. There will also be bosses to contend with, like Kings of the Underworld, Malevolent Beings from Tartarus, Prometheus, and even Cerberus!

There would also be two play modes: Endless, where the path is randomly generated along with the bosses; and Campaign, in which you play as the warrior man as he races to the exit of the Underworld with the soul of his wife. In Campaign, there will be occasional checkpoints at which to save or start from, such as Spring Zones created by Persephone to aid unfortunate souls - little spots where the Underworld can't see you. You will also run into epic side quests and events, such as encountering Prometheus and deciding what to do with him: Free him, or Leave Him. As well you will be able to purchase health boosts, temporary speed boosts, and new abilities (like Super Jump, Juggernaut, Blessing of Hermes, etc.) to help you through you're quest.

I'd love to hear what y'all think of my idea!
