Hexcite is a strategy game based on geometric shapes. The goal was to design the app from scratch based on the actual game for mobile devices with a touchscreen. The difficulties we encounter were how to place the board on the screen, so we could fit both all the parts of the game together, how to make the layout work to our advantage, also the game mode and how the users would select, rotate and place the pieces on the board.
Another main challenge was to design a walk through that was fun and interesting enough so the user wouldn’t just read a set of boring instructions and just walk away without playing. Along with the design of interface, we did research, surveys and user testing to improve aspects of the app, such as the game mode, the site map, the placing of the buttons and the options of the game. This is still work in progress, but we’re having an amazing time working on this project
