How I Built It

Technical Approach

• Built the game using HTML5 Canvas for the battlefield and game visuals.


• Used Google AI Studio throughout the development process to build and improve the game.


• Used Gemini to help with gameplay ideas, mission flow, puzzle design, and balancing the difficulty.


• Designed the game around 5 missions, where each completed mission advances the enemy fleet and unlocks the next challenge.


• Added a 3-life system so every choice matters.


• Created different puzzle types using number and pattern sequences, including arithmetic patterns, prime numbers, Fibonacci sequences, and multi-step logic.

Interesting Decisions

• Instead of focusing on combat, I wanted players to stop the enemy by solving puzzles and breaking secret codes.


• I moved the enemy fleet in five strategic steps instead of continuous movement to make the growing threat easier to understand.


• I kept the interface simple and used short intelligence messages to tell the story without interrupting gameplay.

The goal was to create a simple experience where players use logic, observation, and problem-solving to uncover enemy plans and prevent war.
