Target Audience: 12+, People who are fans of beat em up fighting games, and those who are new to the genre.

Game Description: A 2D Side Scroller where you play as a group of Pro Wrestlers as they take on an army of robots and androids. You will have to use various wrestling techniques as you progress through multiple, action packed stages.

The game takes place in a greatly exaggerated version of 1990s California, where your end goal is to take a trip through the state until you manage to sneak inside one of the Robot Bases and destroy it from the inside (with wrestling, of course).

The player is able to choose from up to 5 different characters, each with a different style of wrestling as their playstyle, each fulfilling different roles in combat. Some may be better at handling multiple enemies, while another may be better suited against dealing high damage against a single opponent.

Combat centers around being able to chain a variety of wrestling moves to deal as much damage as possible, featuring a scoring system which will grade how well you perform during a stage alongside other metrics (Similar to games like Devil May Cry and Ultrakill). Boss encounters will feature enemies that are bigger than usual, which may require the player to find their weak spot to topple them over and deal big damage.

The Art-Style will be comic-like, featuring big pop-ups describing sound effects (Onomatopoeia), The characters having exaggerated motions for their attacks, and the robots will take similar appearances to various popular depictions of robots in the 80s-90s (Terminator, Doctor Who, Robo-Cop, etc.)

The music will be High-Action and Electronic, adjusting in intensity as you progress through the stage (Example Track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCijQ8TN_TM )
