Game Development Project – “Kill The Ants” (Casual Arcade Mobile Game) Project Overview I want to develop a simple, fun, and addictive casual mobile game for iOS and Android. The game should be easy to play, fast-paced, and perfect for short play sessions. Core concept: Players protect a candy placed in the center of the screen by tapping ants before they reach and eat it. Think: hyper-casual, endless survival, reflex-based tapping game. ⸻ Gameplay Mechanics • Start screen with Play button • Clean white background • A candy placed in the center • Ants spawn randomly from all sides of the screen and move toward the candy Player actions: • Tap ants to kill them • 1 ant = 1 point • If ants reach the candy, they damage it Candy health: • Health starts at 100 • Decreases when ants reach it • Game over when health = 0 ⸻ Difficulty & Progression As score increases: • Ant spawn rate increases • Ant speed increases • Ants move in different patterns (zigzag, fast, slow, swarm, etc.) • Game gets progressively harder This should feel endless and challenging. ⸻ Power-ups Bomb feature: • Player can throw bombs to kill multiple ants near the candy • Limited bombs • Extra bombs can be earned by: • Watching rewarded ads Features Required Core features: • Endless gameplay • Score counter • High score tracking • Leaderboard • Game over screen with: • Final score • Best score • Retry button Monetization: • Rewarded ads (watch ad → get bombs) UI: • Simple, clean, minimal design • Smooth animations • Satisfying tap effects/sounds ⸻ Platform Requirements • iOS + Android • Optimized performance • Smooth gameplay (60 FPS) • Lightweight build • Unity preferred (or suggest best engine) ⸻ Style • Simple • Cartoon / fun • Casual arcade look • Bright and satisfying feedback Reference style: Hyper-casual games like: • Ant Smasher • Fruit Ninja (tap feel) • Helix Jump (speed progression) ⸻ Deliverables • Full source code • Game assets • iOS build • Android build • Ad integration • Leaderboard integration • Documentation ⸻ Goal Create a fun, addictive, stress-relief game where players compete with themselves to beat their high score. Simple to play. Hard to master. Perfect for killing time.
