Stick Figure FPS. Just hear me out... :)

Seriously, this could be the perfect torque game. It takes NO artistic skill at all, and could be completed by one guy in a matter of months.

The basic premise is this. You play a stick figure who joins the stick figure rebellion (SFR). The goal of teh SFR is to free all stick people from their slavery. They dont want stick people being used on street signs, or hung in games of hangman, etc.

So, there is a short single player aspect of the game, where you play along with the story. The basic gameplay would be quite innovative. Lead would server as both health and ammo (its what makes up stick figures and any weapons they might have). Ink could be used as armor and rarer ammo. This would force people to balance offense and defense, and the fights would center around the pools/stashes of ink and lead.

Some examples of weapons would be the ever-deadly eraser, the inkblot, the standard drawn in bullets, the deadly line (railgun), and some kind of explosive weapon, like a rocket launcher. Each would use a different amount of ammo per shot, and have different uses. For example, the standard bullets would rarely hit the enemy, since it is hard to hit a line (they have very thin limbs). The gun would have a high firing rate to make up for the lack of area affect damage. There could even be a mr. smiley gun, that makes the opponent's head become a smiley face, and grow larger (easier to hit).

You could also have special abilities, like drawing in a an anvil over an enemy and having it crush him, or drawing decoys of yourself, all activities which consume lead and ink.

What do you guys think? There is some serious potential for humor here, and the gameplay, if done correctly, could be quite fun. :)
