Neon Bounce

How to play

Step 1 - Place a platform

You are given a platform (preview in the bottom-right of the screen). Click to place it anywhere on the screen.

Platforms must be a suitable distance from any existing platforms.

Step 2 - Drop the ball

Click anywhere on the screen to drop a ball in that position. Your goal is to reach the score target (shown in the top-right of the screen).

Every time the ball bounces on a PINK platform the PINK value raises by one. Every time the ball bounces on a GREEN platform the GREEN value raises by one. Your total score is the product of these two values.

When the ball falls off the screen the turn is over, and you can drop another ball. If you haven't reached the score target after three attempts, the game is over.

Step 3 - Repeat

Once you pass the score target, you are gifted another platform to place. Play for as long as you like and reach the highest score you can - mine was something like 2500.

Context

Built for an interview task where the aim was to add as much juice as possible to a simple task. The initial task was to make a ball bounce on a platform. All physics were implemented by me, and then on top of that I built the scoring and rounds systems.
