Project P-100
How it Works: In this demo, you play as the leader of a group of minions, of which you control the entire pack. At face value it may look a lot like Pikmin, but it’s really quite different. You have your basic attack that is performed with the ‘X’ button, this sends your entire party smashing into enemies as one giant hoarde. Using this attack builds up a meter that’s denoted with batteries at the top of the screen. You use this power to perform your special, or “Unity Attacks”, which have your minions forming their bodies into the shape of one giant weapon. These are used by drawing symbols on the touch screen of the WUpad, then activating them by pressing ‘A’. The demo featured three of these attack types. The first has your party of minions forming into a giant fist by drawing a partial circle. Next is a sword, formed by drawing just a vertical line. And finally a gun, formed by drawing a sideways “L” shape. Once either of these three special weapons are activated, you use them by pressing the ‘A’ button. But you dont need to draw the shape every time you want to use your sword. Once you’ve activated it once, that one weapon is now available to use every time you press ‘A’. You only need to draw again when you want to use a different weapon. While in combat, you also have two defensive moves. The left trigger will form your party around you into what looks like a jello mold, which acts like a shield. Or you can hit the right trigger and have your party bound out of the way like a Slinky.
