Inspiration

As teammates with full-time jobs, we wanted to create something simple but engaging. The idea of a mini-game app was born, but we knew it needed something extra to stand out—great design. As autumn approached, we drew inspiration from the season’s cozy vibe and decided to center all our games around autumn leaves, aiming to create a relaxing and inviting environment. That’s how Autumn came to life—blending fun mini-games with the warm, soothing charm of fall.

What it does

Autumn is a simple, yet fun mini-game app with three engaging challenges. In Memory Flip, players match 8 pairs of cards by flipping them over, testing their memory skills. Tap Tap Tap is all about speed—tap the screen as many times as possible in just 10 seconds. Finally, in Quick React, your reflexes are put to the test as you tap when the color fills the leaf. To make things even more exciting, we’ve added a leaderboard where players can compete, and custom avatars so everyone can express themselves as they play!

How we built it

All the designs were designed on Figma and the app was developed with SwiftUI.

Challenges we ran into

Throughout our development of Autumn, we faced several challenges. First, we had to creatively convert the autumn theme into fun and engaging games. Once the games were ready, the app review process brought its own hurdles, requiring us to refine every detail. Implementing custom avatars was another challenge, as we wanted users to feel personally connected to the game. And of course, countless sleepless nights came with solving bugs, tweaking designs, and polishing the final product—but it was all part of the journey!

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We’re incredibly proud of the small details that bring Autumn to life. The micro-animations, paired with satisfying haptics and sound effects, create an immersive experience. In the Tap Tap game, the falling leaves add a touch of autumn charm, making every tap feel rewarding. On top of that, the quality of the code ensures smooth gameplay, making the experience enjoyable and seamless for all players. And on top of all that we were able to close everything on time.

What we learned

Building a product from scratch under a tight timeline taught us the importance of clear goals and efficient planning. Working with a new team challenged us to quickly adapt, collaborate, and find common ground. We experimented with various design styles to create a unique experience, which helped us think outside the box. Most importantly, we learned that writing clean, high-quality code from the beginning is crucial—it made debugging and resolving issues much faster, saving us valuable time in the long run.

What's next for Autumn

We’re excited to continue growing Autumn by adding new mini-games and expanding the app’s offerings. While our tight timeline limited some features, we plan to release exciting updates in the coming months. These include improving the graphics for an even more immersive experience and introducing multiple themes to keep the gameplay fresh and engaging. We can’t wait to bring these updates to life and enhance the cozy autumn feel!
