Embiggen
A downloadable game
Embiggen
Inspiration My wife has ADHD so she loves playing Tetris. I love indie and retro games. I wanted to make something as simple as Tetris but could also be complex if you get good. This is my first project. This was made with AI for coding so i wanted to try to make simple gameplay that the AI wont have too much trouble figuring out.
Version- v1.0 (Initial Release)
How to Play
1. Controls
- Hold X- Expands circle
- Goal- Expand the circle until it hits perfectly on the outside rings
2. Scoring
- Perfect- 100
- Under Perfect (a slightly larger area)- 50
- Under 50 (a slightly larger area than 50)- 25
- Area inside the ring below the 25 point zone/Area right above the perfect ring points- -1 Life
3. Bonus
- The faster you hit the expand button the more points you will receive
- Perfects in a row, up to 5, gives your points that turn a multiplication- 2 in a row would be 200 points instead of 100.
4. Rings
- White- Normal/Hit these as close as possible to perfect
- Red- Don't hit the keys or you lose a -1 Life
- Blue- Hit perfectly to receive a +1 Life if your lives are less than 3/If you have 3 Lives this gives you 10K instead
- Gold- Hit perfect to win the game
5. Options
- Points descriptions
- Toggles for music/sound
6. Potential Future Ideas
- More fun bonus rings
- Powerups
- Modes
- More gameplay options in settings
Updates 1.11
-An instructions popup menu right before the first and only game
-Score records accurately now
-Now a more accurate amount of points will get added to your score rather than just "+25" "+50" "+100"
