📝 Devlog: The Making of Move Invert 🚀

🎯 Introduction

Hey everyone! I'm Aniket Kumar, and I’m excited to share my latest game, Move Invert! 🎮 This is a simple yet challenging arcade game where left is right, and right is left – a small twist that makes the game surprisingly tricky!

💡 The Idea Behind Move Invert

The inspiration for this game came from the idea of messing with player intuition. We're so used to pressing left to move left and right to move right – but what if we flipped that? 🤔

At first, I thought it would just be a small gimmick, but when I started testing, I realized how difficult yet fun it was to adjust to the inverted controls. It created a unique kind of challenge where your brain fights against what it’s used to!

⚙️ Development Process

I built this game using Unity, focusing on keeping the mechanics simple but engaging. Here’s a quick breakdown of the development:

• Core Gameplay: A cube dodging obstacles with inverted controls.
• Obstacles & Level Design: Randomly generated to keep things fresh.
• Visual Style: Minimalistic, keeping the focus on gameplay.
• Game Feel & Balance: Tweaked movement speed and obstacle frequency for the perfect difficulty curve.

📉 Challenges Faced

One of the biggest challenges was making sure the game felt fair but difficult. At first, the movement felt too slippery, making it frustrating instead of fun. After tweaking the acceleration and deceleration values, I found a balance that made the controls responsive while keeping the inverted challenge intact.

Another issue was player adaptability – I had to ensure players had a learning curve to get used to the reversed controls without feeling frustrated. I experimented with different speeds and obstacle placements to gradually ease them in.
