Overview: Road of Heart is a puzzle game, in which players control a little girl to get to the triangle in the first round of a level and interact with the environment to help her get to the heart in the second round.
Background Story: The theme of the Game Jam is the picture below.
Then we came up with the idea that a little girl who always ignores the helping hands by others. She craves for a triangle which stands for her desire which makes her fell down in the end. With the use of helping hands, we can change the path of the girl and help her find what she really needs.
Gameplay: Each level is divided into two rounds.
In the first round, player use "W""A""S""D" on the keyboard to control the girl to walk to the triangle. When the girl steps on buttons on the ground, certain part of the ground will rotate and change the game map. When the girl reaches the triangle, the second round starts, and the path the girl traveled will be recorded and shows on the second round.
In the second round, we can use mouse to click the buttons on the ground to rotate certain part of the ground. We can press "Space" to led the girl walk along the path she traveled in the first round. By rotating grounds, we can change the her orientation and then she will walk along different path and finally reach the heart.
My Role: Game Designer
As a game designer, I took part in the brainstorm in designing the background story and the core mechanism of the game. I also designed 3 levels but due to the limited time they are not implemented in the game.
