Sample object theme: animals and balloons

Gameplay: Objects appear in the screen randomly each level. On the top of the screen, there is a copy of one of the objects onscreen that will appear and vanish. Your goal is to burst the matching objects until they disappear from the screen. Drag object out of the screen to change the goal immediately. Burst a number of objects to end the round.

Points will be scored based on how fast you burst them, the time left after the round ends, and the maximum combos you have achieved.

Balls will keep spawning until they reach a certain maximum number, after which all of them will disappear and player will lose points (or current number of balls bursted).

Burst objects that match what the top says to score points. Points will be deducted if you burst the wrong object, or input the wrong action. To make the game more challenging, there are different actions available.

JSON data type

1. Use it for your game configurations instead hard coding in a class.
2. Use for mockup database
3. Again instead hard coding object attributes (enemies, players) use JSON, it is much tidier, neat and flexible.
