Speedy truck is a racing car game for PC in a street that not only moves straight but also in a zigzag way that you should try to avoid the obstacles to win the game.
This game is about a huge truck that you move left and right
using the arrow keys and can stop it to avoid getting hit by the obstacles,
such as boxes, using the space bar. The street is not going to be straight, instead
it will be in zigzag just to make the game even more challenging. When the game
starts counting down, the truck will move by itself then boxes will start to come
in its way; therefore, you must move left or right in the direction where the
truck is not getting hit by the boxes because if it does get hit, you will lose
and start the game from the beginning. There will also be a time limit for the
game level, which is basically about 60 seconds to finish the game without
getting hit by the boxes and not falling from the street. You will need to stop
the car, move it left or right to not get hit by the boxes but in the 60
seconds time limit or else you will lose. The game will be set during the day
and the sky will be clear.
The game includes various tasks that should be done and
rules to follow in a specific amount of time to finish the game and win. The challenges
or the mechanics of the game are staying on the street without drifting away
from it, moving away from the boxes, stopping the truck whenever going left or
right on the street to not drift away from the street and lose the game, and
managing to achieve all these challenges in the 60 seconds time limit to win.
The genre is vehicle simulation game. There are similar
games like this one that involves following rules and avoiding the obstacles to
win including, Heavy Truck Simulator and Euro truck Driver. These games are
similar in how you as the player can play it, which basically driving through the
street going left and right to perform tasks, but there are different other
things that are different; for example, the game could happen during night-time
or daylight.
This game could be played on multiple platforms. It is
suitable for windows, macOS, android, and Apple.
The game I am designing is simple yet challenging and the
level is not the easiest. I thought about it that way to make the player face
challenges and have fun playing the game. The game might be hard for some kids but
that will make them excited to play it, enjoy it their free time trying to
figure out the obstacles and how they could play to win the game, and thinking about
it as a goal that you want to achieve. This will motivate children to think in
a different way while playing the game instead of just playing it without any
goal or benefit, which I think is important when designing and thinking about a
game because this could create a growth mindset for kids.
Overall, I thought about this game with those mechanics and challenges
that are included in the game to make it enjoyable and at the same time beneficial
especially for kids to make them interested more in playing these kinds of
games that are helpful not like playing other games that wastes time and could
be harmful to them when consuming it. When you play the game, you will feel
stressed and under pressure because of the time involved, which is a 60 second
time limit. This is not a lot of time but that is the challenging part of the
game where you must concentrate carefully while playing to try to avoid the
danger and stay on the street at the same time without drifting away from it.
It seems hard at first but when you know the rules, challenges, and obstacles,
it will be easier to play it and practicing more and more you can win it easily
without putting too much effort in playing it.

Hi Hanin This game sounds really cool I love the part where the games road will be a zigzag rather than straight I feel that would make it really challenging and good for your hand eye coordination skills. what if you add in some aspects of rewards, like the player has to collect certain items along the way such as items for their truck, petrol or coins, this could be something you think about implementing into the game. I think it will work well with the time limit especially so the player has more goals during the game to stay on the road avoid obstacles while collecting rewards. You could even take it a step further and add some "reward " disguises which are items that cause more damage during the game but look like they're rewards so it becomes a 50:50 chance for the player to collect rewards along the way. Overall I think this is a great game and cant wait to see the final outcome.
ReplyDeleteHey Hanin, I love driving games haha I think they are the most funnest! This sounds like a great idea :) I really like your idea about growth mindset and challenging kids ! I think it is something very important because that is where learning comes from. Great idea! Would you like to consider adding some sort of animals that run at the vehicle and you need to try and not kill them ? or possibly something that you could collect on the way that would boost your speed. I think it would look nice if you also added day and night so when the player plays a certain amount of time the sky starts turning darker, possibly ? :D I really do think this game will be fun to play and challenging for kids, I cant wait to be able to play it !! Great blog post.
