Concealed Creature Cave Game

•

This game was made for my Visual Design for Games class, the assignment was to create a hidden objects game and we worked for a few weeks. The requirements were that each level had to add new objects for the player to find, and we needed to try to stick to a monochromatic color scheme for most levels.

For this hidden objects game I decided to do a cave theme, with the goal being to find all the creatures living inside. I made two slimes, crystal turtles, fuzzy dust balls, gems, fish, and water droplets into living creatures to be found by the player. I also decorated the environment with similar objects and scenery to make it look more like a cave and have the creatures blend in with their surroundings.

After a number of iteration and feedback sessions, the game has 3 levels and there have been many changes. Some of the biggest changes were audio and visual feedback for clicking and moving around the level. There are dust particles and a low sound for normal clicks, and a water dropping sound for clicking on the lake in the third level. There is a tumbling rock sound for transitioning between the two screens of the third level as well. On top of those sounds I also made everything in each level move at least a little, so that animated creatures did not stand out as much and were harder to find.
