Boss Fight Brainstorming

Idea 1

Gargantuan Survival mode -

Swarms of Gargantuan Asteroids where the difficulty and speed of the GAs keeps rising and the player will eventually die but they need to survive a minimum amount of time (example - 1 minute) to clear the level

Idea 2

Alien Sequence Mode -

Alien space ships that move slowly towards the player.

They have two letters written on them. For example - AG. To defeat the space ship players will have to type ABCDEFG without making any mistakes.

Note - would be harder to communicate to players.

Idea 3

Rapid Survival mode -

Swarms of comets where the difficulty and speed of the comets keeps rising and the player will eventually die but they need to survive a minimum amount of time (example - 1 minute) to clear the level

Idea 4

Inverted Survival mode -

Swarms of asteroids spawn but randomly players may need to start typing words in reverse to destroy asteroids rather than typing normally. SImilarSimilar to other survival modes players must survive for a minute at least to clear the level.

Idea 5

Frozen mode -

Players suffer from the frozen effect through out the boss phase. There is a 3 to 5 second lag before the bullet is shot once the player types it. This means players must be wary of obstacles coming too close as they may not be able to shoot it as soon as they may normally could.

Idea 6

Alien Confusion mode -

A few keys on the keyboard have swapped places and this prompts players to adapt to the new keyboard while playing the level. For example - Z and M could exchange places. Or maybe there could be a special 2 letter obstacle which upon destruction swaps the two letters that were used to destroy it on the players keyboard.

Idea 7

Red light Green light mode -

Regular level with a green tint on screen. When the screen goes red (for 1-2 seconds) the player must not shoot any bullets. If they do they suffer damage. There could be a small countdown or audio cue that warns players about when the screen is about to go red.
