In-Depth Information
As the game progresses, the schemes presented with each pond get more complex
and harder to solve.
The player has an unlimited number of tries and any unlocked game level can be
replayed at will to aim for the highest score.
Score is obtained depending on the time taken to clear each game level according
to the criteria that the lower the time, the better the score.
The player can also earn and/or buy (IAP) virtual currency to be used to get addi-
tional game levels and scenarios, customizable character skins, and other special
features.
Genre
Lilypads is a single player puzzle game, which can be played in small chunks. It is
divided into levels and the player is asked to find the solution to each game level.
The game will be made in two versions:
•
Freemium
: It is downloadable for free, it displays advertising banners, has
reduced number of game levels, and only allows a single redo for the last
move in a level.
•
Gold
: It is a Freemium version that can be upgraded for a price. It removes
the advertising banners, unlocks extra contents such as skins and sound ef-
fects, provides additional game levels and unlocks the advanced redo fea-
ture, which allows the player to go back any number of moves in a level.

What follows is a list of games that we took inspiration from when designing the
mechanics for Lilypads:
•
Peg Solitaire
/
Draughts
: These board games need no presentation, as pop-
ular as they are. One is a classic solo game where the player is asked
to remove all elements from a grid according to one single moving rule.
