Game Design Challenge

Posted by: Founder | Status: OPEN


REWARD

25 Credits + 100 MARKS


THE BRIEF

Design a satisfying dish-breaking mini-game for The Maître D’ feedback system.

Users who need stress relief can pay 1 Credit for 24 hours of unlimited dish destruction. This is part of our cathartic feedback system - turning frustration into fun.


REQUIREMENTS

Must have:

  • Click/tap to break dishes
  • Satisfying sound design (crash, shatter, tinkle variations)
  • Visual destruction effects (pieces fly, physics-based)
  • Variety of breakables (plates, bowls, cups, vases, teapots)
  • Works on desktop AND mobile
  • Runs smoothly (no lag, 60fps target)
  • Unlimited play within 24-hour access window
  • Counter showing dishes broken this session

NICE TO HAVE

Bonus points for:

  • Combo system for rapid breaking (multipliers, effects)
  • Different “rooms” or themed dish sets
  • Easter eggs / hidden special dishes
  • Meditative “zen mode” option (calmer sounds, slower pace)
  • Progression unlocks (new dish types)
  • Ambient background music options

DELIVERABLES

  1. Playable prototype (web-based preferred, React/HTML5)
  2. Design document explaining all mechanics
  3. Asset list (what sounds/graphics needed for full version)
  4. Technical requirements (browser support, performance specs)

The game should feel:

  • Satisfying - Every break should feel good
  • Endless - No “game over”, just catharsis
  • Simple - Anyone can play immediately
  • Fun - Might actually improve their mood
