Coral Plunge

The challenge

Aim-and-launch games are easy to learn and just as easy to make frustrating. The game needed physics that feel fair, a path the player can read before letting go, and levels that teach without a wall of instructions.

Our approach

The launch works like a slingshot: the orb flies opposite to the pull, and force grows the further the player stretches. A dashed drift line previews the path, so the gap in the coral can be lined up before release.

Reef walls are built from three materials. Soft coral gives way after a couple of hits, rock needs real force, and shell shatters at once. Mixing them gives each of the ten hand-built reefs its own puzzle, and a limited pocket of orbs per dive rewards reading the level first.
