Design documentation

• Words will be falling through the skies
• Words can have different powerups or actions attached to them
• Increasing difficulity (more points, smaller time limit, less lives, faster word speed)
• Powerups can reduce word speeds, clear all words, multiply points given, ...
• Game ends either when the player does not fulfill the score requirements in time or the player runs out of lives

Explainations

Block types

• Normal block: When destroyed will give the player number of characters * current multiplier points
• Multiplier block: When destroyed will multiply the current multiplier by the number next to the word
• Slow block: When destroyed will multiply the block speed by the number next to the word
• Purge block: When destroyed will remove all blocks from the screen

Game mechanics

• The player will have to type the words that are falling from the sky in order to fully fill the tank
• After earning points, the water level will rise
• The player will move on to the next level when the tank is full
• The player will lose a life when they misspell a word
• The game ends when the player runs out of lives or the time runs out

Extensions

• Level system: The game will progressively get harder
• High score system: The game will keep track of the highest score
• Basic fade out animation for the blocks
• Vignette when the player misspells a word
• Sound effects when destroying blocks or misspelling words
• UI that clearly shows the player's score, lives, time left and other miscellaneous information
