Flappy Ball Prototype

source code - https://github.com/melub98/PrototypeMaliyoAssesment

Flappy Jump is my own prototype recreation of the Flappy Jump mini-game from the 100 Games mobile app, built in Unity as part of a job application. The brief was to recreate the core mechanics and add original features — here's what I built.

HOW TO PLAY

Tap or click to jump. Guide the ball through angled hoops without missing. One missed hoop and it's over.

The twist? How you pass through matters.

• Clean pass (no rim contact) → score multiplier doubles
• Rim pass (touching edges) → safe, but multiplier resets to 1x
• Miss entirely → game over

WHAT I ADDED

Ghost Hoops 👻 My original creative feature. Occasionally a hoop shimmers as it approaches, vanishes briefly to a ghost outline, then snaps back just in time. Successfully passing a Ghost Hoop rewards +2 points instead of +1 as well as give the player a x4 multiplier if they get a clean pass trough it. Designed to add an anticipation layer on top of the core reaction mechanic — rare enough to feel special, telegraphed enough to stay fair.

Achievement System 🏆 5 unlockable achievements across four tiers (beginner, intermediate, hard, legendary). Designed to complement the pick-up-and-play nature of the original — giving players ongoing goals beyond just chasing a high score.

FEATURES

🏀 Angled hoops at varying rotations

🔢 Dynamic score multiplier — risk/reward core loop

🛡️ Shield power-up

📊 Persistent local leaderboard — top 10 scores

TECHNICAL

Built in Unity (C#), deployed as a WebGL build. Architecture uses an event-driven system via UnityEvents, a hoop coordinator pattern for self-contained obstacle logic, and physics-first ball mechanics for natural rim rolling behavior.

Prototype built for a job application. Original game belongs to the developers of 100 Games.
