Stack

Stack is a simple, appealing, and challenging game. The goal when you play this game is to stack up the blocks as high as you can andas neatly as possible. It is very easy to play. Also Iits minimalist design style is very unique.

This week, I refined the concept. Based on my research on recipe apps, I found out that there are not many of them focusing on the experience of checking when following the recipes. So I decided to focus this part.

I got rid of the editorial feature of the former idea, making it a lighter app. I also added the START COOKING function.

What I changed in the final iteration:

• Randomly generate 3 options for the user. But the user can only view one option each time. If the users dislike one restaurant, they can’t go back to that option again.
• Redesign the filter interface. Reorganize the type of cuisine options.
• Reorganize the restaurant detailed page. I only keep the information that is useful for the user.

Description

Discover Voodoo’s new game: Paper.io.
Your goal? To conquer as much territory as possible. It’s initially very simple, and the game can be mastered immediately, but watch out: there’s competition, and not everyone can win!
Whether you’re bold or more careful, you have to be more cunning than your adversaries by finding the best strategy to conquer the most space. But be careful! You have a weak spot: your tail. If an enemy touches it, that’s the end for you.
Try to stay ahead, because victory in Paper.io is never certain until you possess all the territory. Stealing is allowed, and your enemies won’t hesitate to do so.
After the success of Quiz Run, 1 Pic 8 Words, and Bool, Voodoo now offers you a new gaming and graphics experience inspired by io type games (made popular by agar.io). Enjoy the simplicity and strategy of an io game in a world with unique graphics.
Paper.io is for the whole family and doesn’t require an Internet connection.

The reason I like Paper.io

First of all, I like the mechanics of this game. It is easy to understand but no easy to master. You can easily understand the rule when you playing it for the first time. But it takes a lot of time to master this game. This is a good feature of the mechanics. Also the illustration style is elegant. I like the color combination of the square.

After user testing and feedback from last class, I added more icons to make it more clear to users that which part they can edit on the editing post view.

I also altered the ways that how to go through pictures on “my diaries” view, so that it is consistent to the main discovery view and users won’t get confused.

In order to make it easier to find certain dish on the diaries view, I also added a different way to display all the pictures by switching the icon on the right up corner.

Here is all the screenshots of my app:

Design challenges/criteria:

1. Simple and intuitive
2. Quick access to foods
3. Minimize text
4. Reinforcing/Repetition
5. Easy to navigate through maps/directions

Things I’ve changed:

1. First view that user will see upon tapping on a restaurant is the map view of his/her current location. This was done because it would be easier to locate directions and orientations for the user.
2. The map is now using a 3D view rather than 2D, again, this was done so the user could look at the map and feel that it is closer to reality.
3. Instructions now are accessed only through the “Text” button on the top right corner. This was done to diminish the amount of text on the screen.
