A fun, fast-paced mobile game. Pinch touchscreen devices to reveal and guess zoomed images. Challenge your friends or play solo!
Concept
Players are shown photos, grouped among countless categories (animals, foods, people, plants, household items, etc.). As the game begins, a category is chosen by the player, and a photo associated with the category is displayed. The photo is initially zoomed-in (magnified), revealing an extremely small piece of the overall image. As the player “pinches” the screen to zoom out, revealing more of the photo on the screen, points are subtracted from the overall possible score attainable.
The object of the game is to guess the item depicted in the photos with as few pinches possible. Players can continue to pinch photos until the item/object is shown at 100% scale. Correct guesses will yield points. Maximum points will be awarded for correct guesses without any pinching, while minimal points will be awarded for correct guesses with multiple pinches. A scale will be established to dictate the pinch to point ratio values (Pinch:Point).
See below screenshots (conceptual sample design) revealing what a player may see while enjoying the game:
Game Play is designed for Single or Two-Player Modes:
Single Player Mode – Human Player faces off against Computer Player(s). Random scores/results will be applied to Computer Players (Based on Difficulty Level – Easy, Medium, Hard), or Single Player can simply enjoy the game via non-competition mode - pinching his/her way through various photos, attempting to guess each one.
Two Player Mode (Time Pinch) - Players take turns through alternating rounds of game play (Either 30, 60, or 90 seconds per player per round). The round timer and number of rounds to be played is established at the onset of the game (determined by host Player). The number of rounds played can range from 1-5. Each round consists of unlimited photos (as many as the players can advance through in the pre-set time). Player 1 (the player who initiates the game and invites friend) chooses the photo category for each round (or assigns the round to be a random category). Players are shown each other’s total points awarded after each round is complete.
This game differs from others we've seen/researched, in that it not only combines quick game-play fun (challenging your friends, as well as solo game play mode), but it also allows players to dictate how much/little of each image to expose throughout the game, with corresponding points being awarded.
We really want to encourage interaction with this game, working to establish daily Pinch Me! competitions across the community, weekly or monthly tournaments, as well as photo upload capability to invite players to create their own games to share with others.
Risks and challenges Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
This is our first project of this type. Once funded, we'll need support to employ our business plan, secure talented developers to build and construct the app.
We anticipate risks associated with establishing an initial user base for the app, but with the help from friends and contributors like the KickStarter Community, we hope to be able to grow the app and expand its reach to millions of users.
