Total Drama - Find It
AS3 / XML / PHP / MySQL
My Role: Concept, developer and designer
My Time Spent: 2½ weeks
When I was assigned to create a hidden object game for Total Drama World Tour on Teletoon, this is what I came up with. I fully developed and designed the game, using assets from the cartoon.
The game engine can be configured to create random or custom levels, with the difficulty ramping up as you progress further into the game. The game features over 300 objects and 80 categories, full screen mode, as well as Facebook for social media promotion. It can be seen live on Teletoon's game section.

To give the game more depth, I made the user find objects by category (instead of just finding one thing).
In this randomly generated level, you just have to find 1 vehicle. Here, the game engine places 5 vehicles so that the first level is easy.
Level 3 is a little harder.
In level 21, the objects start to appear more crowded together.
As you get further into the game, special effects are added to make things more interesting, such as changing the colours of objects. Other effects include randomly rotating, swapping, shaking and flashing objects.
Another special effect is trying to find objects through a blinking circle.
You can share your acheivements for the game on Facebook.
Just for fun, there are 2,752 objects on this screen! If there are not enough unique objects to make a level, the game engine will spread the objects out so they are repeated as few times as possible.
