The brief
In Trappy, you escape a dark cave one tile at a time, then hide a trap in it for the next hunter. The game had to be simple enough to play with one finger, quick enough to finish a room in under a minute, and fair enough that every score on the leaderboard counts.
Our approach
ARCWARE designed Trappy around light and doubt. Your lantern reveals only the tiles around you, so every step is a small decision. Each cave is generated fresh and checked so it can always be cleared, and every run is verified before it reaches the leaderboard. Six dungeon worlds, a daily Tomb challenge and monthly seasons give players a reason to come back.
