So on the way back from a wedding, I stopped at a McDonald’s and I played a little game at their kiosk while waiting for my nuggets. They had this little game where you clicked shapes of different colors and if the ones you clicked made a rectangle (2 opposite corners or 3 of the 4 corners), they would clear and you would score points. The goal being to get as many points as possible. I thought to myself "This is fun. I could make it on mobile and it could be themed about baking pies because who doesn’t love pies. A little over 2 years later, I finally built a quick little prototype. Here is a screenshot of that. Art by Doodle For Food
I started from the Magic Link tutorial and built the core loop today (Clicking the fruit, them vanishing and more sliding in). A lot of work still to be done.
Next on my list:
- Scoring points
- Determining if 5 fruit is too many (3 or 4 might be a better amount)
- Timer (Debating between 1 and 3 minutes)
- Fruit highlighting (the one from the tutorial works for prototyping, but I need something specific)
- Determining if the fruit are too big (They might need a little room to breathe)
Way further on my list:
- Making “pie recipe” goals that if completed add more time.
- Title and menu
- Audio
