Idea:

​

Poor little Firefly, lost and alone, needs the help of young players to find its way back home. A simple colour based puzzle game for young children to learn and explore colour combinations. Using different coloured flowers and the light of the firefly, they will open passage-ways and guide the firefly home.

​

This game should give an overall calm feeling while still being fun for young children. The art style should be cute to appeal to young children (but not over the top cute). The game will be a fun learning experience that teaches children about colour combinations.

Game Features:

 

• Simple colour based puzzles where the player has to use the light of the firefly to change the colour of the key flowers to open passageways through the levels.

• Player can change the colour of the firefly’s light by dipping it in a paint pot.

• Passageways will open when the flower is the same colour as what the blocked passage requires (so to open a green blockage will require a blue flower to be lit under yellow light, turning the flower green).

• More difficult levels will have multiple paint pots and blocked passageways, but should still be simple enough for young children.

Extended Version Edit:

"Version 1.1: Extended Version" has added tutorial text and audio, as well as a further 2 tutorial levels with small map transitions in between on top of what was already established in the "Version 1.0: Original Version (Short)" protoype.
