Down Under: Home is Where the Pouch is.

Narrative Document Down Under: Home is where the pouch is. Land area - Aussie Outback Hometown(anthropomorphic village)- Rooeyville A story of a mother and joey kangaroo who get trapped away from their village, Rooeyville, via the bridge back being cut down by pesky dingos. Joey went off to play as he did many afternoons. Across a bridge right outside of his village is an open grove and a watering hole nestled inside of a steep and narrow yet comfortable feeling canyon. Joey is finally getting to the age where he is able to leave his mom's Pouch periodically. Since he was finally able to do things on his own his mom bought him a boomarang so he would be active and have a reason to get out oh his pouch(he was starting to get a little heavy after all). The open Grove and watering hole had become Joey's favorite place to practice throwing his boomerang. Joey was familiar with the area and knew he could only be away from his pouch for so long but today a rough and tumble group of dingos came along and started making fun of him because his house is his mom's pouch. If only they new that warmth. If only they new that comfort, maybe, just maybe they wouldn't be so cruel Joey thinks. Eventually Insults led to the dingoes stealing Joeys boomerang and playing monkey in the middle with him teasing him. Until eventually they got bored and one of the dingos threw his boomerang in the watering hole and left. The water was just to deep for Joey but while he was trying to find a way to fetch his boomerang he let time slip his mind and along came Momma Roo who easily wades through the watering hole and retrieves Joey's boomerang handing it back to him as he apologizes to her and explains what happened l. Momma Roo tells Joey that it's not his fault and momma will always be there for him. As they make their way back to Rooeyville they approach the bridge only to see that the near end has been cut, and in the visible distance you see the same dingos from before running away with a knife. Mommy Roo Comforts Joey as he is visibly distraught telling him there's only one way back and it might get challenging at times but together with the help of eachother they will be able to get back to Rooeyville without a problem. So begins their journey back to Roeyville, but in Joey's heart as long as he has his momma he'll never be away from home, because home is where the pouch is. 1st level swamp enemies gators hazards water,? 2 aboriginal neon forest night time. aboriginal ghost slamming or making magic fall but not out to get you just a hazard 3 dingo confrontation back to Rooeyville Main Characters: Joey Roo Mum Roo others dingos gators aboriginal ghost people wallaby? koala? wombat tdevil platapus? diggory dude? main menu settings menu ui music voices sound fx Mechanic Document Down Under 3rd Person Adventure Puzzle game Mechanics Jump medium to big jump height about 2 character heights.
