I'm starting a Project with Game Maker. It'll have Atarish sprites.

Gameplay
The game will play as a simple sidescroller in which, as a Mothra Larva, go around trying to get to the end of the level. The Larva can move left or right, but can't jump. The up arrow will be used to make Mothra stand on her tail, and then, she can fire web upwards. To get to high places, you have to shoot web at a platform or obstacle (like a tree) the, a ladder will be made.

Story
The Xiliens have captured the Shobijin, and Mothra must rescue them. However, the Planet X Aliens are mind controlling the monsters, and have cloned them. With their army of kaiju, they try to stop Mothra from getting to the goal (National Diet Building), where she will fly as a Imago to next level, where she will be a larva again. I won't spoil, but the final boss will be fought as Imago.

Monsters
Monsters will be chibified (except one). I'm going to reuse sprites from Monster's Fair and other game. The monsters will not be revealed now, except a few basic enemies:


 * Gezora: Comes from water and tackles Mothra. Can't go back.
 * UFO: Comes flying, shoots a few times and flies away. Very rare and fast, gives powerup when killed.
 * Hedorah: In water form, found in the water and uses sludge to attack the larva. If attacked, he flies away.
 * Minilla: Walks around shooting smoke rings, which can be reflected at him.
 * ???: Shoots ocassional lava. Obstacle.
 * Skeleturtle:Made big by aliens, acts as Koopas: retreats in Shell, which can be used to attack (was going to be for Kamoebas, but I decided he was too Proganochelys-like to do that)
