Computer Games: Bob, the Floating Turtle
The Adventures of Bob, the Floating Turtle
The adventures of Bob - a turtle who spends his days floating around in a murky pond, and his nights floating around in a, well... in a dark, murky pond. This is a game chronicling the adventures of Bob, the Floating Turtle. Bob is a turtle who floats. And he has some adventures. Lots of them. I think we already said that. Of course, Bob thinks that almost anything besides floating is an adventure. Bob floats a lot, you see. -And he's a turtle. Did we say that already?

To compensate for the lack of fast action sequences, "Bob, the Floating Turtle" employs beautiful graphics, a mesmerizing score and, most importantly, a game that just keeps going. The length of the game is made to feel even longer simply because the game moves so slow. From season to season, to the mishap of getting caught by a little boy, navigating the cities sewers, and visiting the sea, Bob’s life is never dull and never seems to repeat. I would like to make it long enough that pretty much no one would ever see everything and the new sequences, adventures and gameplay styles would be the reward for those who persevere.

My hope is to create a whole new style of game here. One that would almost suffice as a screen saver in its simplicity and beauty, but you can interact with it. One other feature of the game needs to be a quick start-up and immediate starting wherever you left off. This way it doesn’t really feel like a game, but more like you are just coming back to be Bob for a while - to escape. Maybe we could even replace solitaire as the game people toggle to most in their spare time...
