Description
Gameplay Design
Core Gameplay: Players click on two identical blocks. If the line connecting them consists of no more than three zigzag lines (i.e., two turns), the connection is successful and the blocks are eliminated.
After elimination, the empty space can be filled by surrounding blocks, or the blocks themselves may remain stationary.
The player who clears all blocks within the time limit wins.
Game Interface Design The main interface includes the following elements:
Game Area: Grid layout (e.g., 8x10), with one icon displayed in each square.
Top Bar:
Timer (e.g., 60-second countdown)
Score
Remaining hints (e.g., 3)
Back/Pause Button
Bottom Bar:
Rearrange Button
Hint Button
Sound Controls
Game Logic Design
Tile Generation: The number of tile types varies according to difficulty (6 for beginner, 8 for intermediate, and 10 for advanced).
Ensure all tiles are initially paired to avoid unsolvable problems.
Connection Judgment: Implement a "pathfinding algorithm" to determine if two tiles can be connected (0-2 turns).
Breadth-First Search (BFS) + direction indicators can be used.
Determine if points can be "walked" between in the current grid state.
Elimination Animation: Use a connection effect (line drawing animation), then the two tiles gradually become transparent and disappear.
Each connection can have special sound effects + score jump animation.
⚙️ Difficulty Design Difficulty | Grid Size | Icon Types | Time Limit | Rearrangement Required Easy | 6x8 | 6 types | 90 seconds ✅ Medium | 8x10 | 8 types | 75 seconds ✅ Hard | 10x12 | 10 types | 60 seconds ✅
UI/UX Style Suggestions: Fresh colors; icons can use cartoon fruits, animals, or symbols.
Slight shadows can be added to the tile borders to enhance their three-dimensionality.
Connection effects can be set to colored rays or particle-effect trails.
Sound Effects & Special Effects:
Background Music: Light and lively style.
Sound Effects:
Click Sound
Cancel Sound (Simulates crisp sound effects such as "ding," "click," etc.)
