So we decided to make game that was original and not a re-skin of Canvas Hero, which we were given to use. We eventually settled on making a Breakout clone.
Breakout is a game in which the player controls a paddle and uses physics and angular maths to bounce a ball in order to break blocks at the top of the screen. We (mostly Iain) started coding a working breakout game that used SVG from scratch, following some tutorials. We got a perfectly working game of breakout produced, and decided to theme it for novelty and such.
I had recently been playing a game Red Alert 2, which is a comical RTS game themed around a fictional war between the communist forces and an allied group. We decided this would be a nice light hearted way of adding novelty to the game, so we decided to make the focus around a communist submarine attacking the HMS Bullwark, which is an aircraft carrier stationed outside of Plymouth.
I ended up creating some concept art for how the game would look like, before actually working on the reskin:
