Role: Solo Game Designer
This sliding puzzle game was part of a half-semester long Unity project. I was the only person who worked on this project. So everything is created by me except for the sound, which was used from FreeSound.org. The player plays as a news helicopter who is trying to take the perfect photo for their news station. This photo has to match the pattern given to the player. Players can choose from three different difficulties and each one has a unique pattern for it's goal.
The Process
I had to come up with a game following the theme of "Ease on Down the Road." So I concepted three ideas on decided on this one. From then on, I had to code the game, create art assets, and find sound to go with my game.
Controls
The only controls in this game is LMB and the ESCAPE key. The LMB allows you to interact with buttons and the cars on screen while ESCAPE pulls up the pause menu when in a level.
The Purpose
The idea of this game is to help promote learning and critical thinking in a younger audience. Every puzzle starts in the same way, they just have different patterns to solve. This allows for players to improve their score overtime.
The Goal
The player's goal is to match the pattern given to them at the start of each level. The less moves you can use the better. This shows that you're improving and learning from this game.
