SUMMARY
PowerPlay is a 3 on 3 arcade style hockey game that differs
from modern hockey games in many areas. Instead of standard
rules and penalties, there will be power-ups and environmental
effects.
GAME MODES
The game will consist of a few different modes, quick play, championship journey, challenge mode, and Tutorial mode allowing the players to play locally or against AI. With all these different game modes we hope to entertain all players!

CAPTAINS
The captain will be the main goal scorer and the source of a team’s chemistry. They are the momentum changers. All captains will be taller than average sized grunts so the players can recognize who their captain is during play. Captains will also have higher stats and unique abilities that are linked to their specific play styles.

TEAMMATES
To create more variety for players we have created multiple
teammates to choose from. The offensive style of grunt will always think offence
first, slow on the back check but a force to be reckoned
with on offence. The defensive style of grunt will always think defense
first, guarding the net is their primary job. The balanced style of grunt will think of the best play at
the right moment, never over committing, they are the
ultimate two way players.

ARENAS
To ensure that every game can be unique, we are adding over
10 different types of arenas. Each with their own unique
environmental effects that will test player’s reflexes.
Player will have to learn how to utilize and ultimately master
the correct play style.
ITEMS / POWER-UPS / EFFECTS
You can gain power ups when you get “big
hit” by the opposing team. Each captain will have their own ability which is
specifically tailored to their play style. Based on the arena the game is being played in, different
events can occur.
SKILL POINT BREAKDOWNS
Each character will have their stats broken down into 5
categories that will each have 3 subcategories. Each stat
will have a ranking from 1 star to 5 stars. The 5 main
categories are Shooting, Skating, Puck Skills, Defence, and Physical. The subcategories are Accuracy, Power, preference to Wrist Shots or Slap Shots,
Speed, Agility, Endurance, Deking, Passing, Control, Blocking,
