Tripletap is a mobile game that I designed and developed for my game studio Joyhype. It's loosely based off the Tower of Hanoi math principles and is inspired by Japanese influences with a heavy emphasis on Hyper Casual F2P game design.

One of the goals I set forth was to design a virtual 'wrapper' that sat above the core gameplay to extend the longeivity of the game as a whole that extended the game with iAP and Rewarded Ad functionality to monetize the game further. It was a combination of trying to be strategic from a buisness perspective and to learn the in's and out's of building a Hyper Casual F2P game by doing.

One set of challenges was ensuring that the game understood when a user had a network connection to enable RewardedAd's and enable the iAP layer. If the player had no connection the UI had to adapt to this change along with the revive / restart layer in the core game.
The game has a layer built into it that allows players to collect coins via leveling up, watching ads, or buying a coin bundle to then use and or purchase additonal hearts to continue playing the game.
I designed the game to blend between three different transition screens that were randomly selected each time the player was sent to the transition screen.
Building Tripletap was a long and slow process that I had to struggle dealing with. It was my first experience working with building F2P features.
