Game concept- weight gain flavored tower defense

Hi, I’ve been exploring the forum for a while without contributing to the game creation: it’s time to change this.
I love tower defense games but I’ve never found a game more of my taste. I want to make something like Kingdom Rush.

I’m posting this to give the idea more weight (ha ha, see what I did there)

Here’s the pitch for now:

You’re the newly appointed defender of the kingdom. Each year, the kingdom is attacked by giant monsters that are quite peculiar: cakes, pastries and jelly slimes coming from an odd place. You’re the only one able to eat them (how convenient) in order to get rid of them.

Gameplay :

I don’t like slowpaced games, they tend to suck the life out of me. The goal of the game is to eat as much enemies possible to save the town. Simple as that, right ? Right ?
Well, here’s the catch : the monsters are quite the calory bomb in this world. Eat one too many and you’ll bloat out of existence (and erasing the city at the same time).

The whole point of the game is to build facilities to slow down this process. Or use this fat to buy upgrades.

Mechanics ideas :

I’m quite new to the whole game development process. But I’ve got some ideas :

  • Grinding the monsters into some kind of paste and store them for later use.

  • Convert the fat from the defender into ammunition.

  • Channel the fat into different body parts to gain specific buffs or powers.

If you like this game concept, I’m more than happy to discuss it with you ! For now, I don’t have much to show, but it will soon change !
