Blend In!

• Originality: This game came from many sacrifices of previous ideas.
• Technical Merit: This game features sound effects to show if the one player is guessing correctly or not while also playing music.
• Prototype Postmortem: What did you learn from this prototype?
  I learned more about phaser, including how some of the physics and sound modules work.
  What was the easiest or hardest part of making it?
  Originally the idea was for the fake boxes to change color when they collide with the tile map, but I could not get it to work, so that would be the most difficult aspect.
• Prototype Assets: I borrowed the tiles from OpenGameArt.ORG, made the tile map myself, the sound effects are from Mario and Luigi Super Star Saga, the Boxes I created myself and the Music was made by my roomate Ali Asif.

    One Player uses the arrow keys to mimmic bounces, controlled by a second player. The second player's goal is to spot the first player and pick them out before time runs out.
