This is super cool! How many cards would it end at? Also I really like the sounds you used (how/where did you make/find them?). The simple UI and use of emojis is nice too :)

    Thank you! There are just five levels: [2, 2], [3, 2], [4, 2], [4, 3], [5, 4]. I thought about making it longer or even endless, but I decided to make it much simpler because the game is for kids and the feeling of victory is important to them. That's why there are only 5 levels and confetti at the end. Sounds are taken from https://freesound.org.

      Wow that is super cool! Maybe you could add a timer that tracks how long it takes someone to do it, so they can try and beat their previous time as well - not needed though just an idea that popped into my head :)

      Thanks for the sound link too! GL!

Very nice - what was the inspiration? What’s the stack?

  • vidzertOP a year ago

    The motivation was to create a simple educational game for my daughter. There are a ton of similar games, but all of them are with ads, premiums, and it is easy for a child to break them (e.g. by clicking some wrong button). The stack is simple - jQuery + jQuery Flip (plus simple js and css), no frameworks. The game was built in 3 evenings.
