Primary Goal & Design Considerations
The goal of this contest is to design the additional screens of the Brando Egg Hunter game with the features outlined below. Your design should follow the look and feel of the provide storyboard screens while we encourage to add some creativity on the new screen(s).
Requirements
1) Distance
Brando needs to have a tool to figure out or measure the distance between two points or locations. The idea is to have an icon for measuring tool such as measuring tape or ruler that when clicked it will initiate the function, then the user will click on the rock wall to start the measuring, it will keep showing the measured distance while the mouse is moving and will only stop until the next place the user clicks.
You need to design a screen for this feature, your screen(s) should have the following features or elements based on the provided storyboard screens:
- an icon for measuring tool
- the actual measuring in action and showing the measured distance either by floating tooltip or in a section within the screen.
- a way to close the measured distance
- you can use any existing screen from the provided storyboard that will meet the required criteria
2) Game Level Selector
Even if the user is successful at a level, the user may want to revisit that level (or previous levels) to try to do it more efficiently, or to try a different way. There should be a way for the user to redo the level that was just completed. It also would be good if there was a way for the user to go back to previous levels that were completed successfully. The Game Selector screen works similarly to the Angry Birds level choose screen (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ay3OOxHQ2Ig/Tc_Z0iptCSI/AAAAAAAAAm4/oAOck3J-XeA/s1600/Play-Angry-Birds-Online-or-Offline-and-Unlock-All-Levels-2.png)
For this task you need to:
- design a button on the main screen to launch the Game Level Selector screen
- design the actual Game Level Selector screen, this screen should have display all the levels (the levels with completed status and with the score of the user on that level, and the levels that are still locked) and a button to go back to the main menu.
3) Mission Complete screen
- update this screen to include a button to replay the level
- this screen can be found on the provided PSD file under Game Area > Mission Complete level
