Piper (game)

Piper is a platforming game made by SuperSm4shWarrior. The game involves the titular character, Piper, going through a series of history-inspired simulations. The game was inspired mostly by Cuphead and the Shantae series.
==Plot (subject to change)==
The year was 2005. Piper was a pop star whose time in the spotlight was starting to come to an end. Hoping she wouldn't lose fans or get her career suddenly killed, she came up with a theory. If she were to go back and forward in time to perform her songs for other generations while still in her prime, she could gain a steady amount of fans. While testing this theory out, her early prototype of a time machine malfunctioned mid-travel. She was trapped in time and space, leaving her with nothing to do but hope for the best. Piper soon would find out that she gets trapped in a series of history-themed battlegrounds, all of which were created by a time lord from the future.
==Gameplay==
This game is a platformer with elements run-and-gun and the exploration aspect of a Metroidvania. Piper can fire her ranged weapons forwards, upwards, and diagonally. Piper is also provided with a health bar that starts off with 20 HP, but expands to 35 and then 50 as the game progresses.
There are six weapons that can be selected. Each weapon has a super attack that can be accessed by dealing enough damage to enemies in a single level.
*The Love Laser is Piper's default weapon. It is a laser gun that is average in rate of fire and damage.
**The Love Laser's super attack is Electrobeam, which fires a large and powerful electric laser.
*The Poppin' Pistols are two guns with a faster rate of fire. They shoot three energy bullets that spread out, but each bullet deals less damage. The guns also have limited range, unlike the Love Laser.
**The Poppin' Pistols' super attack is Death Blossom. Piper spins around and rapidly fires the two pistols, sending energy bullets flying in both directions and above her.
*The Lightning Mic is a microphone and cord that functions as a whip. It can be used to hit enemies at a long range, and it can also electrocute and stun small enemies.
**The Lightning Mic's super attack is Voltage Vocal, in which Piper sings a long note into the microphone and creates a powerful shockwave.
*The Boom Boxing Gloves, despite their name, are brass knuckles with amps at their fronts. They are a close-ranged weapon, meaning that Piper is more likely to hit opponents as well as more likely to be hit.
**The Boom Boxing Gloves' super attack is the Sonic Boomer. A wall of speakers emerges from the ground that uses thumping beats to attack enemies with soundwaves.
*The Chart Topper is a bazooka with the highest damage output of the three guns. However, it also has the slowest rate of fire of the three.
**The Chart Topper's super attack is Missile Mania, which has the bazooka fire out a stream of homing missiles.
*The Glitz Daggers can be used as both a close-ranged and long-ranged weapon. If Piper is near an enemy, she spins and dashes with the daggers, whereas if she's afar, she will throw the daggers.
**The Glitz Daggers' super attack is the Lightning Daggers. This attack sees Piper perform a dashing spin with electricity-infused daggers, then ending with an electric burst.
==Levels==
The levels of the game are a part of a dimension made by Sterling Omega. They are based on different periods in history, and each time period has five levels based on them; namely four platforming levels and one boss level.
Era 	Description
Time of the dinosaurs 	The first set of levels are based on the eras in which dinosaurs were the dominant lifeforms of Earth. Some of the creatures can be used to your advantage, as if they were platforms, but others are on the hunt and are ready to attack.
Ancient Egypt 	These levels have Piper traversing through deserts and pyramids. She fights against vicious snakes, mummies, and a villainous pharaoh set to curse her.
Ancient Greece 	These levels have Piper fighting all sorts of Greek monsters, such as minotaurs, gorgons, harpies, perytons, and hydras.
Ancient Rome 	In these levels, Piper fights against the Roman army. She'll have to dodge arrows, ballistas, and swordfighters. One level even has her fighting near Mount Vesivius.
Imperial China 	These levels take Piper back to the age in which China was ruled by dynasties. She has to guard the Great Wall from an invading horde of Mongols.
Germanic tribe invasions 	These levels take place in the Nordic countries. Piper does battle against Vikings, as well as warriors from other (less well-known) Germanic tribes.
Islamic Golden Age 	These levels take place in the Middle East in the early 1000s. She fights against rocs, demons, dragons, and other monsters from Middle Eastern mythology.

The Old West 	These levels take place in the western United States, as Piper finds herself in duels against outlaws.
The Roaring Twenties 	These levels take Piper to the Roaring Twenties, as she fights the American Mafia, clunky automatons with 20s aesthetics, and evil flappers. One level even takes place in a rubberhose cartoon.
World War II 	Piper doesn't seem like the kind of heroine to fight the Axis Powers, but when being chased by panzers and flammenwurfers, a heroine's got to do what she's got to do.
Cold War 	The Cold War wasn't actually a war. However, in this universe created by Sterling Omega, communists are ready to duke it out against Piper.
The 1980s 	These levels transport Piper to a neon-lit land based on 80s pop culture and trends. She fights against warriors and monsters based on 80s characters.
The far future 	These levels are the final levels of the game. They take place 500 years into the future, and Piper's enemies are high-tech androids and metallic behemoths.

Image 	Name 	Time period 	Description

(image TBA)	Magmus 	Ancient Rome 	While Rome's neighboring city of Pompeii was destroyed by a volcano, this lava monster had the power to destroy almost all of Rome.
(image TBA)	Aqua-Long 	Imperial China 	Chinese dragons are usually a sign of good luck, but this one in particular was captured and trained by a Mongol horde, and thus is ready to challenge Piper to a fight.
(image TBA)	Ansgar Von Au 	Germanic tribe invasions 	This Viking has only one dream; to be the richest man on Earth. All he wants is money, and there's no better person to rob than a rich and famous pop star.
(image TBA)	Nadya Turquoise 	Islamic golden age 	This genie could grant almost any wish, but unfortunately, Sterling Omega found her magic lamp first. She grants Omega's wishes to defeat Piper in a battle.

(image TBA)	King Duke IX 	Medieval England 	King Duke not only loves to abuse his power, but he's also a master sorcerer. His spells range from turning rats into small dragons to bringing his stone castle to life.
(image TBA)	Kinzoku Megei 	Feudal Japan 	This iron-willed samurai ghost must obey his moral code, and since he was created by Sterling Omega, his morals conflict with Piper's. He can swing his sword at very fast speeds, and he also has other deadly tricks up his sleeve.
(image TBA)	Captain Sea Storm 	Golden age of piracy 	Sea Storm is the nickname of a ruthless pirate captain who dominated the seven seas as if they were a kiddie pool. He wields a cutlass and a flintlock, and he'll do anything just to find some treasure.
(image TBA)	King Earl Grey 	American Revolutionary War	While not as notorious as George III, Earl Grey was still quite powerful. Instead of taxing tea, Grey instead weaponizes it with a custom-built tea cannon. It's not as powerful as a cannonball, but it's three times as messy.
(image TBA)	"Wild Child" Posey 	The Old West 	This cowboy was one of the most notorious outlaws in the Old West. He's got excellent aim with his six shooter, and he also has a bad attitude to boot.

(image TBA)	Roris Medvinski 	Cold War 	This bear had always had his mind on war, and his allies never expected Piper to set foot in Russia. He might go easy on enemies at first, but once a fight starts, he can deliver unBEARable pain.
(image TBA)	Quinn Thunderbolt 	The 1980s 	Quinn was once a celebrated rock star, but his time in the spotlight ended earlier than expected. He's willing to do anything to get back into the news, even fighting Piper.
