15min Max
15min Max was the first game we released for free on android and iOS.
15min Max is the ultime game to prove your actual gaming talent. No time to practice. No endless hours of griding to get the highest score. And most importantly, no friends who spend way more time than you.
For us this game was a final test to see if we could develop and released a fully fleshed out game.
Game Design
15 minutes, max:
This is a mobile game that can only be played for an exact amount of 15 minutes. This is how much time you have to learn the game and set your highscore. In this way your fellow players or friends can't get a better highscore than you by simply playing a lot more.
In a way it was designed to be a real test of game skill.
One button:
To keep it super simple for gamers and non-games alike. The player only has 1 button/action. They can touch the screen, or not touch the screen. The player is always running towards the right automatically.
Level Design
Random weather:
The weather forecast is random!
7 different houses:
Variation comes from the type of houses the player enters. Each house has its own unique challenge. It can be button bashing as fast as possible, jumping at the exact time, shooting at the right time (but not too many times) and several other challenges. The order of the houses types is random.
7 levels of difficulty:
Each different house has 7 versions. The first house the player encounters of that specific type is always the easiest version. Then the next time it comes around it because a little more challenging (version 2). Therefore the game has a total of 49 different houses.
But no player has ever gotten a score of 49. (within 15min of course).
