Challenge

To code a functional canvas game that uses a point system using HMTL, CSS, and JS. To implement a database that keeps a record of players scores. To create a concept based game and design all of the elements such as characters (Mary the Gardener), bad guys (Bad weeds), good guys (Flowers) and all other illustrations for the gameplay. To create a brand package and a press release for the game. To adapt the promotional material to different sizes to deploy them accross different social media platforms.

Solution

With the use of cartoony illustrations we created a game universe around Mary the garderner. The game is played using the arrow keys but we also added alternative controls such as WASD. We added an instruction page with explanations and images to help users easily understand how the game is played. As this project had many components, we divided the work based off of our design strenghts to successfully create all of the game material as well as all of the necessary material for the different formats needed for the branding package.
