Make It 45 Description
Game Description:
The game is a turn-based puzzle game played on a 5x5 grid. The player’s goal is to merge numbered cells, ultimately forming the number 9 and then combining multiple 9s to clear space on the grid and continue scoring. The game ends when there are no more available moves.
Technical Breakdown:
Grid Setup and Display:
The grid is a 5x5 matrix, giving a total of 25 cells.
Each cell in the grid can hold a number from 1 to 9.
Empty cells are represented with a null or 0 value.
Initial Setup:
At the start of the game, the grid is mostly empty, with a few cells containing random numbers between 1 and 8.
The player’s initial object (or “shooter”) starts at the bottom center of the grid.
Gameplay Mechanics:
Objective: The player aims to move their object around the grid to merge with numbers, incrementing them until they reach 9.
Movement Pattern:
The player can move clockwise, with the starting point being the bottom center.
Movement alternates between cells in a circular path around the center cell of the grid.
Merging Mechanism:
When the player’s object merges with a numbered cell, the number in that cell increments by 1.
Numbers increment progressively until they reach 9. Once a cell reaches 9, it cannot increment further.
Special Condition - Creating “9” Cells:
When three cells with the number 9 are adjacent (or form a special condition defined by game rules, e.g., touching in the same row/column), they disappear from the grid.
All cells with other numbers remain unaffected.
This clears space and makes room for new numbers, allowing the player to continue the game.
Scoring:
Each time a set of three “9” cells is cleared, the player gains points.
Points could scale with the number of “9” combinations achieved.
Additional scoring bonuses could be implemented for clearing multiple sets of “9” cells in quick succession.
End Condition:
The game ends when there are no valid moves left to progress further (i.e., when the player cannot reach any numbers or the grid is too full for movement).
A final score is calculated based on how many “9” cells were created and cleared during the game.
Advanced Features (Optional):
Power-Ups: Introduce special power-up cells that, when merged with, clear random cells or increment multiple cells at once.
Combo System: Award extra points for merging multiple numbers in a single move or for clearing consecutive “9”s.
Obstacles: Random obstacles could spawn, limiting movement options and increasing difficulty.
