The Golden-uhhh
"The golden - UHH?" is a game based off of "Le Chapeau" a tutorial game by Daniel Buckley on zenva academy. In the game, players fight to keep the hat for the longest amount of time. Running into other players will steal the hat OR give the hat to the other player!

Theming
In the original Game, the players were fighting for a hat on an unassuming cube.
WHen redesigning the game I wanted the players to feel as if they were battling for a sacred treasure at the peak of a mountain.
The Idea
For the menu screens, I wanted to retain the sky-blue background, and add a light gradient to the bottom to resemble the white-blue gradient of the horizon. In terms of font, I wanted a thick, rounded font to mimic the sky-filling effect of clouds.
​
Due to the player models being cubes and the treasure being a glowing sphere, I thought it would be fitting for each player in the lobby screen to be represented by a square, and the Start game button to be a golden-colored circle, which flies off the screen when the game starts. This would then lead into the players spawning, and the treasure floating from beyond the screen, which I felt gave the transition a bit of continuity.
Execution
TRY IT OUT!
