New Game Concept: Ice Cave

I am working on a new game in Flash, and it will be called "Ice Cave". What is this game about? Penguins! This game has a unique concept. It wouldn't fit into a particular genre. It takes up elements from various genres including RPG, Puzzle, Adventure and Strategy.

You play as a penguin. You enter a cave called "Ice Cave" which is famous for the best fishes in the entire Antarctica. But as soon as you enter the cave, the entrance gets sealed by a snowslide. Your main objective is to find another way out of the cave, along with the others you find inside.

• P, the Penguin. I'm calling the penguin P, because it is named by the user. Abilities include swimming, fishing, pushing small objects, etc.
• Chiko, the little penguin. Abilities include entering/exiting small openings, running, etc. This penguin moves on all fours. (If you have a better name, please suggest it!)
• Gobble, the fat wobbly penguin. Abilities include picking and pushing heavy objects, etc.
• Ruby, an Antarctic bird who is trapped in the ice. Abilities include flying across waters, etc.
• Warlord, a walrus. Details about Warlord are given in the next section.

• You start the game with one character — P, the Penguin. As the game progresses, you control more characters, all at the same time, and you can switch the leader. You can also choose to ask the other characters not to follow you. But to progress, you must not leave any character far behind.
• You can slide on ice. When you slide on ice (on your tummy), you can move only in one direction, and cannot control the character until he has reached the other end. This part of the game works like a sliding block puzzle. There are cracks at various places on the floor, which turn into a hole when stepped on. If you step again, you fall down to a lower floor, and you must find a way to go back up again. Only the penguins can slide on the snow, including P, Chiko and Gobble.
• This game involves using various items, switches, etc., and dragging and pushing blocks up, down, back and forth. You can walk on the snow, and slide on ice.
• After playing the game for about 3-4 minutes, P encounters Chiko — the cute little penguin who walks (bounces, to be precise) on his fours. Quite similar to Mudkip in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon. Chiko is being driven away by a water current, and would soon drown. P must swim (underwater) and rescue Chiko. You can surface and unsurface while in water, however you cannot move or swim while surfaced, unless there is land around.
• Chiko joins the team, and would be following P all the time. You can choose to ask Chiko not to follow, but to progress you must not leave him behind. You can switch characters and bring Chiko individually.
• Chiko is small in size, so he can enter small caverns P cannot. This is especially useful for secret switches, items and bonuses.
• After a gameplay of around 10-15 minutes, P encounters Gobble. He is a big fat wobbly penguin who is stuck in the ice. To rescue him, P must find switches that drop ice stalagmites to break the ice Gobble is stuck in. After he is rescued, he joins the team.
• Gobble has the ability of pushing and pulling large objects, like logs of wood. He helps clear the obstructions in the way.
• After around 20 minutes of gameplay, P meets Ruby — the bird. The bird has its own objectives, since it can fly over waters and ice.
• The team finally reaches the exit, but what! It is blocked by Warlord — the walrus. His demands must be met before he lets the team go through. His demands are: get him 20 big fishes. Fishes come in 3 sizes — small, medium and big. You must capture 20 big fishes and give them to Warlord.
• That's it, end of the game. You exit the cave and the credits roll! Play again?

• Darkness — some parts of the cave are dark. You must find and light a lamp to get through.
• Language select — the game can be played in English and Spanish.

That's it for now. Please give your opinion. Thanks.
