Inspiration for these games could be from rides such as Duel in Alton Towers, Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin in Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World, Orlando, Florida and the Golden Nugget Wild West Shoot Out ride in Drayton Manor. These rides involve you sitting in a car and shooting targets along the ride. There is usually someone else sitting with you in the car and you both have a score, and at the end of the ride your scores get compared. This may be a good idea for what my game could be, although it may be a bit complex for an internet game. I think if I manage to simplify this 'ride' idea, then I feel that this may work very well =)
One thing i will need to think about though is that my level will need a theme. A setting. And since every theme park ride has a sort of 'theme' (hence the name 'theme park rides') this will definitely be needed to be considered.
I also don't want the graphics to be too realistic because most casual games have very cartoony graphics, so I'm right in my element here!
May need to rework this idea a little as the main character (user) will be still and the targets will move. But I think we can come up with a compromise.
