Our constraints were:

• Guideline given to our team: Worm
• Device: Super Nintendo Entertainment System (Nintendo), aka SNES

SNES specs

• 256x224 pixels 
• 32 768 colors (15bit)

• 16x16 pixels tiles

Pitch

One Punch Worms is an arcade video game where two players embody fishing baits. As worms, the contestants will have the opportunity to fight against one another by hitting as many fishes as possible, and to be the first one reaching the abyss. 

Features

• Enemies: Fishes are enemies. 3 equidistant spawnpoints are placed at the bottom of the screen to generate fishes, which one is ruled by  timer. There are 4 types of fishes: Y -> green, X -> blue, B -> yellow, A -> red.
• The two players can attack enemies by pressing the button matching the fishes (i.e. red fishes are marked with an "A" letter, which means players will have to press the "A" button on the SNES controller to fight them).
• If players are to get swallowed by enemies, they can attack fishes pressing the right button.

Controls

Players will be using the controller shown below:
