This document outlines the design of the game Destination Rush. It includes sections on the design history, game overview, gameplay and mechanics, story/setting, management, and playtesting results. The game involves dragging and dropping passengers onto planes matching their designated destinations within time limits. Iterative playtesting resulted in changes like adjusting prices, mechanics from buttons to drag-and-drop, cuter art style, and balancing objectives. Players must transport passengers efficiently while managing upgrades, mystery boxes, and fees to progress through levels.

3. 1. Design History
1.1 Ideation Process
(Digital Prototype)
o Our game is inspired by fast-paced/management games to keep the
player hooked and also enjoy. The player has to send as many
passengers to their respective destinations within the time limit to earn
the most money while minimizing the mistakes made which will deduct
your money earned.
(Final Game)
o From the paper Prototype, we changed several mechanics. For
example:
o We do not deduct money from the player every 30
seconds anymore. Instead , we deduct money from the
player after each round as maintenance fees.
o Mystery boxes to spice up the game.

4. o Removal of 2minute per round, we added objectives to be
cleared during each round.
o Our digital prototype follows the mechanics and ideas from our
paper prototype. Such as :
o Each plane carriers 2 passengers.
o Each plane has different destinations(T&M,M&B)
1.2 Iteration
1.2.1 Evaluation of Iteration
o We play tested the game several times to look for possible
bugs/abuse that might be in the game.
o The original pricing of our upgrades was too high, and after
many tests , we decided to lower down the prices to
balance out the game.
o Changed the entire game mechanics from button pressing
to send passengers to their planes to drag and drop to
make things smoother and enjoyable.
o Made art cute instead of realistic to capture the eyes of
audiences.
1.2.2 Changes made from prototype to final game
o We changed the whole layout of the game.
o Changed the entire game mechanics from button pressing to
send passengers to their planes to drag and drop to make
things smoother and enjoyable.
o Made art cute instead of realistic to capture the eyes of
audiences
o Mystery boxes to spice up the game.
o Removal of 2minute per round, we added objectives to be
cleared during each round.
o We do not deduct money from the player every 30
seconds anymore. Instead , we deduct money from the
player after each round as maintenance fees.
o Balancing of the game. We playtested the game several
times and adjusted the objectives of the game and also
the money earned to be leveled out throughout the game.
o After each round there will be a maintenance fee of 10-
15% of your total amount. This is so that the player has a
sense of management of his own money.

5. o After many playtests , we also adjusted the happiness bar
to a certain starting point. This is so that the player will
not lose too fast due to passengers being angry.
