SHIFT

Shift is a puzzle game that requires some strategies to reach the door first. There are some obstacles in between that obstruct you to get into the door. There are keys too to unlock certain path that is obstructing you on the way to the door. There are some buttons to help you along the way. Space bar to jump and shift to shift you from black world to white world.

I find this game interesting as it helps to train my brain. I am satisified with their interesting game design and how they instruct the player to play. Although sometimes, I'm quite confused with the jump button and shift button. Overall, I find this game is good for gamer who prefer simple and yet strategic game.

Exercise 2 for DM2232

I have chosen RollerCoaster Creator as the game to do for GameBoy DS platform.

RollerCoaster is a game whereby you have to create RollerCoaster tracks which allow the roller coaster to travel from the beginning of the track to the end of it and you have to collect There are 6 tools to help you to draw the tracks. There are 5 fixed pattern shape tool with 1 "free-hand" tool which means you can draw the tracks freely using your mouse. In the next paragraph, I will talk about how I would adapt the game for the Nintendo DS platform.

For the menu page of  RollerCoaster Creator, I would like the bottom screen to be the screen of levels that the players have attained and have not attained. This will help the players to keep track of their progress. The design of the levels page will be something like Super Mario Game whereby there are a lot of levels and small kings in a World. There will be different levels in different 3 big world. The first world would probably the easier mode and follow up. There will be some hints that lead the player to complete the mission. For example, the tools that should be used to reach the final destination. There will be no more hints in World2 and World3 so that player can think creatively how to create the tracks of the roller coaster.

GameBoy DS has 2 screens. The top one we can control the game using stylus while the bottom screen is for buttons-controlling only. In my view, I would put the 6 tools of the game below the screen for the player to choose using buttons and I would prefer the gameplay on top screen because player will draw the tracks easier. 

This would be the end of my views on adapting RollerCoaster Creator into GameBoy DS.

Fishy!

Fishy is a flash game that is easy to play.This is not a fantastic game but it is fun enough to kill your boredom. Therefore, I will only play this game when I'm bored.

The game will start out as a mini fish and you can only eat the fishes which are smaller than you. As you eat the fishes, you will grow . Thus, you will have more fishes to eat when you grow bigger. When your fish is so big that, it fits the entire frame of the game and you are able to eat all the fishes. Congratulation!

This is not a terrific game but there are still some thrills in the game such as swimming to the other sides of the screen to avoid bigger fishes. Moreover, it is difficult to control the fish using keyboard so the difficulty increase. Overall, this game is not bad.
