Game play / Game Mechanics:


Special Features of the game :

1. Wormholes

- Practically the teleport structure capable of sending units to the next adjacent square upon stepping on it and player’s choice. It will trigger Attack Sequence if the other side of the wormhole has units from opposing nation.

- Subject to weather conditions.

2. Hills/Rivers 
- The secret passages/shortcut to another nation.

- Takes 10 rotations to build.

- Once built, player’s units standing adjacent to their respective Hill/River will be considered at adjacent range to their enemies’ units (Even though the opposing nation has not finished building their secret passage).



3. Weather 
- Based on 4 different weather carries 4 different effects:-

A) Blizzard
- Construction of bridges on Rivers are halted for the corresponding
player having this weather card on effect.

B) Sunny (Clear Day)

- Neutral Effect, no negative nor positive effect. A good day to send 
your troops to die. 

C) Earthquake
- Construction of bridges on Hills are halted for the corresponding
player having this weather card on effect.

 

D) Sandstorm
- Wormholes cannot be entered as long as this weather is on effect for
       the corresponding nation. Units standing adjacent to the wormhole
       will be sent over immediately IF there is no opposing nation units
       at the adjacent squares on the other end (triggering an attack
       sequence if there is any units) if the Sandstorm weather
       subsides.

 

The game is split into 2 phases, Buying phase --> Moving phase as 1 rotation.

We used: Pawns, Dices, Paper, Pencil and a coin
Ships can be moved in its own territory only depending on its type.

This is a portion of the special effects the tiles have. For example in this picture we have the ? tile.
It means we have to flip the coin. If heads we draw a card, If tails we skip a turn.
We have 7 different types of cards and multiple of them.

This is the board game when being played between two players. Any ship that has taken damage will be recorded down by 2 different players recording for 2 different players.

This is our recording sheet of paper.
We use pencil to mark which ship has taken damage and if it has no more remaining hit points it is then removed from the Battleship board.
The Ships hp are:-
Basic ship - 2 HP
Destroyer ship - 3 HP
General ship - 4 HP

This is an example of the ships territory and position. They can be position randomly

Gameplay description:

Initially, the cursor is in small in size, the function is to collect all the shapes. When you collect the yellow shapes, your cursor will grow larger due to adding your multiplier points into it that allow you to take in more shapes and gain more points as usual. As for red shapes that you have collected, it comes to a cons, that is decreasing the multiplier size of your cursor, avoid collecting the red shapes. Be aware that, when your cursors grows larger, the percentage of accidentally collecting red shapes are high.

Positive aspect 1: Complexity increases with better gameplay experience.

The more yellow shapes collected, the larger the cursor you obtained, however, it is difficult to avoid the red shapes that appearing simultaneously.

Positive aspect 2: Interface and controls is simple.

There is no clicking involved, theres only hovering the mouse to collect the shapes and avoid the red shapes.

The game always keep playing the same music from start to the end.
