Enemies on every Side!

[Innocynce]

Alright, I'm doing a platforming-shooter game that's about trying to find a way into the sky.. But yeah..

I can't think of any enemies; like..the majority of the game surrounds running around on earth and looking for things that go up like: towers, stalks, elevators, rockets, ect.. But so far, the world's very empty and extremely easy to navigate

So um yeah, what kinda enemies should their be?

[LunarScyphozoa]

Birds! They can come from anywhere but below.. I hope

[lizardlullabye]

Giants or Geese -- like Jack and the Beanstalks

Construction workers like dwarfs or their ghosts --- you bother them by breaking into their towers, running the wrong directions on their elevators, and stealing their rockets. . .

Anthromorphic planes like those war-time propaganda cartoons OR a pterosuar.
That one might not fit whatever time period-ish is this?

Fireworks!

[brianhanes117]

Robots, aliens, and bounty hunters

[Hipiticus]

Spiders of all shapes and sizes, have a boss battle with a giant spider

[NickRowler]

It would be cool to have a theme. Like maybe evil mushrooms and plants. Or monsters. Or wolves and bears.

[Innocynce]

They can come from below too, because in Ninja Gaiden for the NES: they can and will​

[Innocynce]

Thanks for these: honestly I was asked indi developers first and they seem to ALWAYS ignore helping even in the slightest, despite that forum being for that​

Gonna use every idea here!

@lizardlullabye
I guess it could kind of take place in the distant future? That way using everything mentioned here would be possible: A.I. planes and Robot pterosuars would be very possible then.

@NickRowler
The most I had for a theme was: a meteor shower happened and the player character is one of the celestial objects that crashed on Earth. But there were supposed to be obstacles (including anything else that could of fell) trying to stop them from going back up. And that's where I kinda drew a blank.
To keep it short: simply fighting off other stars was kind of boring.. That's why I REALLY needed help

Choose a vegetable that you HATE and give it legs and feet. Asparagus.

[Innocynce]

Heheheh, this can be a very long list​
Alright, I'll stop being childish.. But Asparagus, Broccoli Snowpeas, Eggplant/Squash, ect are making it in

[Lensing]

A bank robber runs out of a bank on the bottom level and has to fight against
cops chasing him. There is a helicopter on the top level, when he reaches it
he can excape. There are different kind of cops, some are running, some are
sharp shooters on the other side shooting at him etc.

I love Asparagus and can´t white for the next season, I eat Broccoli almost every
day

[Innocynce]

Oh yeah, to be in the middle of a robbery; that'll be a good idea for a level too...like just having to weave through various situations and shooters just to get to the elevator!

And.. The only thing I could eat everyday would probably be...lettuce, if possible​

[julias_art_universe]

really annoying crows with bazookas

[Innocynce]

Imagine they're offscreen, then you hear a harsh "CAW!" then turn around and get blasted​

[julias_art_universe]

exactly my point
