Choose a Game Genre for Your Game
1. Pick one genre to use for your own game and explore the "Game Ingredients" for it.
The Genre I chose is:Action
I chose this genre because you can do many things that are educational and fun at the same time. There would be different ideas on how to make it an action game so it won't be that hard to do think about my game.
The thing that excites me most about this genre is that there is a higher chance that people would actually want to play our game because of our fun topic.
2. Choose two game ingredients for this genre that you want to use in your game.
Ingredient 1: Adding Input Mouse
I will use it to pick up the moving trash and quickly put it in the trash can before the time runs out.
This looks easy to do because I already know how to do it and it'll be a little challenge for the player.
Ingredient 2: Motion Tween
I will use it t make the trash move while the player is trying to catch it.
This looks hard&easy to do because I've done the motion tween before but it's not enough for me to remember the steps directly but I am willing to put it in my game for the player to enjoy.
The title of my game will be: Pollution Catch
My game will teach:you the importance on helping the earth and cleaning it up.
This is how to play my game:You can use the mouse to drag and drop the trash into the trash can.
The player will win my game when they:get as many as they can get into the trash can and before the time runs out.
The player will lose my game when they:don't get as much trash into the trash can and they will loose a life if they catch something that is helpful to the Earth.
My game is fun because:the genre is one of the genres that kids like to play and it can be a real challenge.
