Paths

Paths - iOS & Android


Paths is a very addictive and engaging puzzle game! Solving the puzzles is easy, if you have the skill to navigate the ball into the hole. Simple enough? Oh, By the way, there are objects that you must go around, under, over which ever way you want to really, just as long as you do not touch them!



The idea of the game game about when i was working on a client app and the objective was to get the user to use their finger to colour a picture in, when i was testing that out i started by using Line Renderers in Unity and when i put a simple build on the iPad where the only input was touch the screen to start the line and move it around to build your line etc when we did this in the office it looked very cool and was smooth so then we started playing around with it more and got a fade on the line and got it to curve and disappear after certain seconds, naturally the game input was done now we just had to think of the game itself and I came up with the idea of what if the user has to take an object from one side to another without hitting anything on its way.


Then the idea kept developing and we came up with 20 levels to start to test the game out and see if it works, initial response was really good and we were surprised at how addictive the game was and the reactions people were having were exactly what we wanted for example they would get past the hard bit by concentrating but mess up the finish because they got complacent and there would be a funny frustrated scream or stare at the screen but the best thing was they didn't put it down they kept trying again!

And so we Released the game with 20 levels and have been updating whenever we get the chance, sometimes we put in 10 new levels to keep the players going or add in features such as "Skip a Level" (if your stuck lol). Our next update will have a new feature where you can remove any walls that are annoying, it could be that wall next to the finish that you keep hitting!

So, what are you waiting for?! Go try solving the 40 Levels.
