Components
Caramelos is an Android Game made with Libgdx, This android game is an open source game that seems very interesting, but needs some enhancement.
Proposal
my proposal is about the inclusion of the
Highscore Feature- this feature stores the best score played by a users, this feature plays a major role in gaming as it motivates users who play games and keeps record of the users best, this high score feature has the ability to motivate users to beat the previous score which makes it fun and besides when a game has an objective it makes the game an addictive game.
Store and resume last state- this feature is a very important feature that caramelos lacks and makes playing the game very frustrating cause whenever you exit the game while playing the game all progress is lost, so when a user quits the game to carry out other activities and returns he has to start all over again, cause the game doesn't have the ability to store users last state or position of the game or level he stopped playing, so i suggest the implementation of this feature in other to allow users pause and stop whenever they want to.
ability to select a level to play- when a user passes a level i think the users should have the ability to select or replay that specific level again at their leisure time not start playing the game all over again, so this feature should be added to allow users select levels they want to play.
Time challenge - This feature is a very interesting and major aspect of this game as it may make the game very interesting and motivate and also challenge users as they are given a specific time to complete the levels or else they fail.
Mockups / Examples
Caramelos without the features
Caramelos with the resume from last state and Time challenge feature
Caramelos with the highscore feature
caramelos with the time attack or time challenge feature in playing mode
Caramelos with the select Level feature
Benefits
Makes the game more challenging and more interesting cause they can view their best so they would have more morale to beat it so they would keep playing till they beat it so therefore it would also encourage players to keep playing the game, Time challenge another aspect of the game this feature would give users the choice of having to neither play normal mode or time attack so users can have fun while trying to test their speed or accuracy. the resume last state would give users the access to play the game wherever and whenever they want without having to start all over so makes caramelos a very good game.
