German grammar kids game “Phontasia”

Winner of Best Learning Program "NEO 2016 der Technologieregion Karlsruhe"

Client Need:
Transform the provided game mechanics in to magic themed visuals. Provide further gameplay improvements to increase engagement.

Main challenge:
The mechanics of the game require a large amount of space that the target hardware cannot accommodate. The theme and premise have to appeal to a large audience.

Solution:
I used the provided game mechanic to come up with a display method that would allow all of the intended content to fit on screen while retaining the necessary flexibility. The “word match” nature of the game fit perfectly to the “potion brewing” idea. Through my design, I created a visual story of a magician’s apprentice game that focused on potion brewing, where magic words are equal to spells. This theme appeals to a large age group and is gender neutral, which is perfect for an educational game.
