In this game, three teams (Red/Green/Black) compete to claim the biggest territory within a set time. The team that ends up with the biggest area in its corresponding color wins. Chromatic principles are used to turn monotonic colors into glamorous hues. The paintball-like game, a departure from the traditional online game model of eliminating monsters or enemies, features humorous soldier figures inspired by art tools. It is an educational game suitable for all age groups. Objects in the game settings such boxes, stones or little monsters can be freely moved, thrown and stacked to achieve various goals, adding to the game’s entertainment value.

Technology advancement has not only made human life more convenient but has also caused revolutionary changes to how electronic games are played. For instance, the introduction of Wii allows people to play games using body movements instead of traditional button controls.
The fish-netting game is a popular and nostalgic night market activity. Standing by the fishpond, net in hand and with abated breath, you carefully skim the water for the best target. But the fish will not stay still just for you. Better make your move fast when the timing is right. Be careful also not to break your net or you’ll lose the big fish! Some people break their nets right away and are out of the game. But some succeed in bagging one in a matter of seconds!
But the fish-netting game is hard to come by nowadays. Parents busy with work have little time to take their children to the night market. City kids have even fewer chances to enjoy the traditional night market. To bring this classic night market entertainment to first-timers and longtime fans alike, we have developed the game of “Night Market Fish-Netting King” where kids can experience traditional night market fun and adults can recall their childhood memories.
For a lifelike experience, we have combined the touch screen on smart-phones with G-Sensor technology. Players can immerse in the joy of fish netting by touching the screen to move their nets and tilting their phones to simulate the movement of netting the fish.
