Hello all,
This is more of a general, non-technical question that i would like your thoughts on… I’m building a word/maths type game whereby the player selects an answer from a multiple choice set of buttons. Here’s a screenshot of it to give you an idea:
The app has a time trial mode, where you need to achieve 10 correct answers in the fastest time possible.
My question is: by randomly button mashing, you actually achieve a way faster time than if you actually tried to mentally work out each question!
So, what sort of solutions would you suggest to essentially dissuade the player from button mashing and genuinely work it out? This is bearing in mind that this mode will have a multiple choice format still of 4 buttons… I currently have a points penalty system which takes off points from every wrong answer (but the points relate to overall “career stat” score and not to the time trial best time score).
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
