[E]ISLAND HOP - Academic Version
In [E]ISLAND HOP - Academic Version, you play as a small Cube trapped on a rocky bay surrounded by scattered islands. Your goal is to collect all portal shards and reach the goal before time runs out. You cannot swim, but you can jump between islands and summon ice blocks from water to help you move. Each time you summon an ice block, you gain time by collecting shards, but each summoning costs two seconds of your precious time. Carefully plan your jumps and ice placements, as you can only jump short distances and cannot land on rocks. The challenge lies in balancing speed, strategy, and resource management to escape before time expires. This academic project, created as a final degree work, offers a unique blend of puzzle-solving and time-based decision-making. It’s a great example of creative problem-solving in game design. [E]ISLAND HOP is perfect for players who enjoy thoughtful, strategic challenges.
