Goals

• Create a game that produces similar cognitive benefits as the Ball Game
• Accessible controls for elderly audience
• Visually engaging
• Merge scientifically valid brain with game mechanics

○ Inhibition Control ○ Working Memory ○ Strategy Switching ○ Etc.

Design Over Time

January to February 2018

• Box Game

Design Over Time

February to March 2018

• 3D Garden Sim

Design Over Time

March 2018

• 2D Garden Game
• Took the 3D concept and switched to 2D
• Designed to reduce confusion with viewpoint for patients

Final Design

March to April 2018

• 2D Speed Based Garden Game

Current Features

• Simple touch-based mechanic
• Mechanic is based around reaction time
• Layered mechanics that require inhibition control and divided attention
• Progression is based on performance
• Swipe recognition for later mechanics

Future Features

• Tutorial text when new mechanics are introduced
• Analytics for response time and accuracy that can be viewed by clinician
• More concrete rules for progress system
