Design
One of the design goals of the game was to utilize a unique color mechanic via Solbot, the robot. When Solbot crosses through the gate it changes its color and you must collect orbs that match the color of the robot.
Another goal we set for the design was to develop fun gameplay based on the players fast reaction. We were able to do this by designing various different orbs other than the ones the player had to collect. If the player runs into an orb that doesn't match their robot's color it deals damage. This makes the player have to quickly bypass the wrong colored orbs that they don't need to collect, therefore making the player have to quickly navigate between various areas.
My role
My role on the project was the Lead Game Designer. I pitched the game idea which was approved and went into development. I prepared the design and planning documentation for the core game concept, features, and game systems. I also created the initial UX/UI wireframes and iterated in response to feedback.
