The Concept
In Kid the World Saver you control the main character, “Kid,” indirectly. The game world is made of colorful blocks and you must help Kid reach his goal by rebuilding levels. As Kid awakens and the game progresses, the blocks become less constrained and more like toys. In this way, we hope to invite players to “just play.”

Development Cycle
We prototyped the core mechanic of playing with blocks to control Kid over the course of a month. We then spent another 3 months polishing the game for GDC. We used c++ DirectX and the Box2D physics library to quickly prototype and design the demo.
