Introduction
Casual Puzzle Game
Game Theme
Inspired by
Game Of Thrones
3D - Top Down
Camera Angle
• Like PVZ players have to defend ‘Night’s wall’ by destroying
incoming AI characters (white Walkers)
• *The twist : Game characters don’t fire automatically at AI
enemies.
• Instead, players match coloured ‘orbs’ in a circular container
causing defenders to fire at AI enemies. Simple!

7. Game Mechanic
• Players rotate circular container and try to match 3 or more orbs depending upon
which defender they want to fire at enemy
• Matching is similar to Link http://bit.ly/1Oezixu
• Matching 3 or more orbs gives power to heroes
• Heroes use this to fire at enemy (white walkers) to destroy them
• Killing white walkers give Player Xp points
• Accumulating Xp helps player levelling up and unlocking new heroes, defences
and spells
• Power Currency help in adding Heroes, defences and spells before every game
play

a level
• This process of selection is done at Training Centre
• Different types of heroes, defences & spells are unlocked by attaining higher Player Xp
• Once unlocked, a particular unit can be added by the player
• Choosing/adding units require game currency
• Chosen unit takes few seconds to be added and to be used by the player in the level against
AI

Game
1. Player can play mini
game to accumulate
‘power currency’
2. Mini Game similar to
rotating the orbs
container;
http://bit.ly/1Oezixu
3. Can also win big bonuses
like unlocking a new hero,
Defence or spell; and
trying out once in the
game play!
1. Game may have
‘Unpredictable surprises’
2. Like in Daily rewards
section
3. Visual Representation of
next Upgradable Hero,
etc. on Result Screen
4. Game Dynamism
All these factors; would
encourage players to keep
returning to the game
‘anticipating *New
reward/game element’
1. Notifying player when
‘energy meter’ (time
tokens) is filled up
2. Or retargeting non playing
users by sending a
message encouraging the
player to visit the game.
1. Player can be directly
made to play the game on
his very 1st launch and
then navigated to main
menu.
2. The message that player
has to fight against white
walkers playing as
defenders then needs to
be communicated in that
interactive tutorial level!
1. Player will be able to add
heroes, defences and
spells in Training centre.
2. And on returning back,
player can user these
troops to destroy
enemies.
3. Push notification when all
troops are ready to be
used can be sent; so that
player is encouraged to
open the game!
Concept very similar to Clash
of clans. Fore more refer this
slide ‘Training Centre’
1. The player can try various
combinations of Hero,
Defence and Spells
before the game play.
2. Figuring out which
combination works best in
different levels would add
to retention.
Players can select ‘assists’ in
a separate dedicated section
called ‘Training Centre’
