   Walkr

Walkr is an game app that wish you to walk out with your phone. When using this app, users are like traveling through the galaxy. Users can collect a lot of beautiful planets to achieved the goal. Each planet are designed in a fancy way and are be categorized into food, planet, element, and so on. Such as Caramel Apple, Octopus Cavern, Heart of Flames, etc.


The things that attract me with this app is not only the interesting story and beautiful design in it, but also people can get in shape and have fun at the same time.

Things learned from Final presentation critique:

  • Preferences page – personalized your recipes recommendation based on your choices (now my preferences page has food type and food restriction section since my food recipes provided based on the time period, it would be better that I can also add a time period selection, such as 15 mins quick meals, 30 mins…etc. )
  • Direction section – I realized that I got some problem with the structure. it seems I hide some secondary information (direction section)  inside of the food details, because this is the important part in my app features that allows the user to learn how to cook a quick, simple and healthy food, probably I may think about an alternative way to make the user feel that they do not need to take the extra steps to achieve that goal.

Feedback:

  1. Work on the Chef’s button. How does a user get back to the map view?
  2. The user and friends have gradient circles around them. Does it signify something? For now – no. It can signify close friends, etc.
  3. Thinking about setting up images for restaurants, etc.

The Battle of Polytopia

The Battle of Polytopia is a turn-based strategic adventure. It’s a game about ruling the world, fighting evil AI tribes, discovering new lands and mastering new technologies. Auto generated maps make each game a new experience, with unlimited replay value. Pick and choose among different tribes. Wander in the dark cold forests of Barduria, explore the steamy Kickoo jungles or claim the lush field of the Imperius empire.

I really love this app. Firstly it is an offline game app, so I can play it while I am in the subway. The game is really attractive. In this game, you can create your own kingdom. After you develop your kingdom you can go attack and occupy other kingdoms. There are two ways that you can win the game, one is that kills all your enemies, another one is that becomes the richest and most developed kingdom. The visual part of this game is bright and colorful. I also really enjoy the user interface. The game is really easy to play and understand. I love this game.
