Game Design

Objective

Paddle Battle is a multi-player iPad game. Each player has a side of the screen where he gets to control a paddle. The goal of the game for each player is to protect his goal area from different kinds of balls not to let it pass through. The game ends when 3 players get eliminated then the remaining player wins.

Gameplay Mechanics

The game uses fairly simple physics. The players also get to move their paddle by moving their finger on screen.

Level Design

The game is not level based. But there are different themes (skins) for the game that you can choose from. Each has it's own distinct features and variations in physics.
