idea

A one-minute arcade game you can learn in seconds. Babies ride two conveyor belts through a factory, each one needs something different, and the clock is running.

approach

babies
Three babies each need a different number of taps, from none to two, and getting one wrong costs points. A doctor teaches the babies and the bonuses in an in-game tutorial.
bonuses
A clean round inside the bonus timer earns extra points, extra time or a strike back. The window scales with how many taps the round needs.
fairness
The same baby never shows up three times in a row, so rounds feel random without feeling unfair.
any screen
The number of babies on each belt is worked out from the screen width, so the game fits every iPhone and iPad.

result
