BLOCK SLIDE - COLOR PUZZLE

Motivation

"Block Slide - Color Puzzle" began as a solo prototype to explore fast-paced, hyper-casual gameplay loops and quickly evolved into a technical exercise in efficient Unity development. The project emphasizes clean, modular architecture suitable for rapid iteration and live deployment. It serves as a proving ground for lightweight UI systems, optimized animation workflows, and ad-based monetization strategies, while also supporting Firebase-based analytics and level delivery in future updates. With a tight scope and focused design, Block Slide - Color Puzzle allowed for rapid testing of mobile-ready systems and publishing workflows on WebGL platforms which eventually led to an App Store release with planned future updates such as leaderboards and in-app purchases.

Key Features & Implementations

• Lightweight, event-driven tap detection and scoring system

• Modular UI framework with animated transitions and feedback

• Scalable level progression logic with difficulty curves

• Ad framework integration for interstitial monetization

• Firebase analytics tracking with support for custom events

• Performance-optimized for low-end Android devices

• Clean, self-contained architecture designed for rapid iteration

• Vibration feedback taking advantage of Apples haptic engine.

Learning Outcomes

Block Slide - Color Puzzle has offered valuable insights into designing efficient gameplay loops within the constraints of hyper-casual mobile development. Optimizing input handling for high frame-rate performance helped sharpen my focus on lightweight, scalable systems. Building a modular UI and analytics integration pipeline expanded my understanding of mobile backend workflows. The project also reinforced best practices in rapid iteration, modular architecture, and preparing projects for platform submission, providing a strong foundation for future mobile releases.
