I'm working on yet another prototype game and I feel like this one is already nearing completion. Pounce is a casual game that lets you catch mice by enticing the cat character with a toy. There isn't any way to die and the levels are easy for most people to pick up.
My original goal was to make a game that anyone could play. This meant that the gameplay had to be simple but with enough twists to keep people interested. So I decided to use a cat for the protagonist and have the goal of catching mice in each level.
You have to clear each level of mice before moving onto the next one. As you progress you'll notice that there is an added puzzle element to the game that makes it fun. Moving cardboard boxes, blocking mouse paths, and figuring out how to jump to certain areas keeps things challenging.
The best thing about this game is that it could be considered iPhone friendly. There aren't any buttons you need to press or tricky combos you need to memorize, just a stick with a toy attached to it. Dragging boxes is as simple as clicking and moving them around as well.
Hopefully I can release this game on a flash portal within the next few days. Keep your eyes peeled for more news and perhaps some more information on the other games I've posted on my blog.
