Falling Alphabets (proto)

An article by mgear

Small test game, falling alphabets.

Current features:
– Falling alphabets 🙂
– Using default 3DText objects with rigidbodies
– Basic highscores with php (1 top score is kept)
– sounds from: http://www.bfxr.net/ (ps. Check this, Unity port of as3sfxr)
– 3D sounds (based on viewport position)
– uhm…nothing much else

Info:
– Total time spend for making the “game”: ~5hrs (split to within 4 days)

Todo:
– Better graphics (UI)
– Add some other effect on a succesful hit (+1 bonus object..or coin/diamond?)
– Adjust difficulty (now it doesnt speed up unless you fail something..)

haha, nice mini game!
This could be more interesting if you have words falling instead of just single letters!
Words could be just a collection of alphabets falling near simultaneously, like…
[n]
[m]
[a]
[d]

  good idea, then could have attack waves (one “wave” or level is 1 paragraph of text..), word combos.. Or even typing falling c# code.. or PI numbers : )

    attack wave sounds great!
    This may be a little time taker but, you could do something with the scoring as well.
    reward the player who enters correct letter in sequence, with combo bonus points.
    that way, the player may enter like…
    
    beautiful (9 letters) = 9*9 = 81 points
    beau (4 letters) tiful (5 letters) = 4*4 +5*5 = 16 + 25 = 41 points
    
    something like.
