Im going to redesign an older moonlanding platform game. Whatever to base it on?

For this project I the student, am to redesign an old moon landing platform game and I am NOT TO CHANGE THE PLATFORMS OR THEIR ACTIONS. Many a theme has jumped across my frontal lobe at the thought of such possibility. An underwater theme is taken but not a micro theme. I’m thinking dental: the platforms will be teeth, you avoid crevasses and as germ of gingivitis, it is you solemn mission to plant the flag of a brave new colony in this untapped oral frontier. Go team plaque!
Another idea is to have the lander be an eagle and the platform a nest. You must roost among mountains. Could work.
Plan C is a bunch of spiky wals and you must land a balloon.

Obviously I'm going to try the gingivitis invasion first.

Text in a Picture: Aint No Rest For the Wicked by Cage The Elephant

What I like most for all three:

I think the urban vibe I am trying to convey is visible and the use of reflections and positive and negative space make these pieces interesting to behold. Certain colour limitations correspond to the whole black/white morality debate.

What can be improved in all three:

The erasing wasn't as crisp as needed in places and not as airbrushed in others.

Which piece was the most successful of the three:

I believe that the first one was most successful despite its lack of reflection imagery because of the deeper layers of thought that went into this one. For example the model's skin is blue( traditional of the Hindi deities) and he is wearing a hoodie that appears blindingly white, much like a celestial robe and then it reaches a darker core( the shirt beneath). The placement of the text is simpler in that it’s crooked. All of this adds up to challenge tradition concepts of good and evil as well as the place of evil within religion. The main theme I was going for with these pictures was the rock and a hard place situation that some people find themselves in and turn to less legal methods of survival: boy in hoodie leering avariciously at possessions in store window and contemplating theft. The song Aint No Rest For the Wicked by Cage The Elephant is about such people who commit crimes (mugging, prostitution, embezzlement) because of the desperate need for cash. In it most of these crimes are committed by reluctant criminals that have families to support and little ones to feed. This link to hunger leads me to the regret that I couldn’t work in a kid stealing an apple but I think you lose alot of the urban feel that way.
