Summary
It's not easy to create a good game for Pebble that's actually easy to control. Just a very few made this right. But there is a pretty popular game genre that ought to be comfortable and fun to play on your wrist! Yes, it's a drag racing
. Three buttons are just about right for this kind of game. Also, there's gonna be a zero BS factor. No waiting for gas, no double currency. Just a fair game designed to be fun.
Target platform
This game should be Pebble only. No companion app (for now), no JavaScript screens. So iPhone users are more than welcome to play along since the very first beta
.
The challenge
I've already made some apps for Pebble. But none of them was multi-screen, and definitely none of them used real-time graphics. It's the challenge to make this happen, and balance the gameplay just right.
The extra challenge
Due to my huge work load, I only have 4 days to make it. Just two weekends and that's it. Can I make it?
The trinkets
I have decided to uncover the game info as I progress. So feel free to come back once in a while
