Pillow-Fighting Queen

This game is kind of like an upgrading/rpg/street fighter game.  With pillows.

You're playing a little girl.  She has pig-tails and a flouncy dress, and you can customise the colours of both.  Her one goal in life is to become the ultimate pillow-fighting queen, and you can help her do this through winning matches, gaining cash for upgrades, and levelling up by gaining experience.

  The main upgrade screen is her bedroom.  You can see a world map, a door, a window, a shelf, and a bed.

This little girl - Amelia, for the sake of argument - can only work on her pillow-fighting skills between the hours of 6pm and 10pm.  You can click on the door to go out and do jobs, click on the window to check on and upgrade your vehicle, click on the shelf to train, and click on the bed to upgrade your weapons/armour (teddy bears and pillows).

You earn money to buy those things either by winning matches, or by doing odd-jobs.  At first, you only have time to do odd jobs within your own house, for pocket money.  Then, as you get a little richer, you can buy a bicycle, and go further away.  As you increase your vehicles - from your own two feet, to a bike, to a motorbike, to cars, to planes, to helicopters, to the ultimate nuclear-powered warping machine - you increase the distance you can travel and the range of jobs you can do.  Jobs further away are more lucrative, and you can do them more as you decrease the travel time.

Upgrading your vehicle also allows you to reach matches that are further away.  The first match you can take part in is against your own sister.  It's a training match, so unlike the others, you can't repeat it.  As you upgrade your vehicle, you can travel further away, first to the neighbours, then to London, where you fight Beefeaters outside Buckingham Palace, to India where you fight atop moving trains, to New York where you fight alongside cops and criminals, to Boston, where you fight racers in the Boston Marathon, to Australia where one of your opponents is a kangaroo, and so on.  Battles are fought battle royale style against multiple opponents, who won't automatically come after you.  Your fame metre rises as you win more matches, increasing your opponents desire to take you out over everyone else.  If you lose matches your fame goes back down, making matches a little bit easier.

Your weapons/armour upgrade from a small teddy and a basic pillow through to the BFBear and the BFPillow.  You can also win rare items in random drops, for example, the hostel pillow and the mascot bear.  You are also given nightdresses by triggering random events - for example, if you beat the Beefeaters a certain amount of time, the queen sends you a Union Jack nightdress and a note, which is delivered by your puzzled parents in a cut scene the next day.  Speaking of parents, every so often you'll see cut scenes of them looking puzzled at seeing a brand new car hidden in the garage or a helicopter on the roof.

As you meet certain criteria, which includes winning a certain amount of matches, perhaps by a specific margin, you are crowned Queen of each area, which builds up a shelf of tiaras, which are displayed in your room.  As mentioned above, you can click on this shelf to train, which is one of the only ways to gain experience (the other way is by fighting matches).  This means giving up a chance to earn money or to shop, as all of these things take up the time you have before matches.

Once your entire map is gold, ie, you have been crowned queen of each area, you will receive an invitation to a special battle...in your own home.  In a plot twist, it's against your pissed-off sister (remember, you beat her right back at the beginning?) and your mother, the former champion.

I dreamt this whole thing last night.  So far, it doesn't exist outside my head.
