The criteria for this module was to pick one theme and one constraint from a list provided my the lecturers. I decided to choose a one button game as my constraint and ripple as my theme.

 

This resulted in my idea of a rock skipping game, including the ripple theme as an effect on the water each time you land and the only button being used in gameplay being the spacebar. The players jump height is controlled by how long the spacebar is held down.

​

This game features three different levels of increasing difficulty, where the player speed is increased and the difficulty of the obstacles.

​

I also wanted to convey a relaxing theme due to the nature of the simplicity of the game. I therefore decided for all the audio elements to be acoustic guitar and splashing sound from the water with birds chirping in the background.
