Description

The concept of Ripple is to give the player a relaxing environment to navigate. We focused on simplicity to achieve this. The mechanics are simple; click to make a ripple, collect flowers, and avoid whirlpools. We tried to make the aesthetics of water as visually appealing as possible and to make the environments themselves very calming. Our game is aimed at anyone who needs a breather, a moment to just sit back and relax.

The focus was always to keep the game as simple and relaxing to the player as possible. It wasn't just enough to be different from the rest, we wanted to make something that really showed off its own best traits. We are very proud of how we used our design goals to inform our decision making from the art and its simple style, to the one button mechanics, to the layout of the level, and we think it all comes together to form an enjoyable experience.
