Types of Juice
● Color: Simply having distinct colors for each element in the game improves appeal
● Tweening / Easing:
○ Elements to apply Easing to:
■ Position
■ Scale
■ Rotation
■ Color
○ Offset: If multiple elements all use the same element, you can add a slight delay to some elements for a more dynamic effect
● Sound:
○ Effects: The more unique sound effects, the better
○ Music
● Particles
○ Directed: Particles fly in a given direction (can be used to match the direction of travel of the source)
○ Burst: Particles travel outward in all directions
○ Trace: Traces the path of a moving instance
● Screen Shake:
○ Translate
○ Zoom
○ Rotate
● Flash: Illuminating the background to a bright color
● Human features:
○ Eyes:
■ Make them big
■ Make them blink
○ Smile
When to Apply Juice
● Rapid movement: When something is moving very quickly
● On Collision: If one object hits another, it feels better to have the momentum of one object apply to the other
● Sympathetic Collision: Something else on screen reacts when you do something; (destroying one block makes all other blocks shake)
