Inspiration

Chokko4 was inspired by the timeless appeal of Connect 4 and the idea of giving a familiar game a playful, flavorful twist. We wanted to combine a fun chocolate theme to create an experience that feels both nostalgic and fresh.

What it does

Chokko4 is a two-player, turn-based Connect 4 game where players drop chocolate discs into a 7×6 grid. Players compete head-to-head to connect four matching discs horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, with clear visual feedback for turns, wins, and draws.

How we built it

We built Chokko4 using Lens Studio’s 2D tools, managing the board, gravity-based disc drops, turn base component, and win detection through a custom Sprite Manager. Touch input handles column selection, while themed sprites and effects bring the chocolate aesthetic to life.

Challenges we ran into

Ensuring accurate win detection across all directions and handling edge cases like full columns or draw states required careful logic. We also focused on making touch interactions feel smooth and intuitive on different screen sizes.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We created an easy-to-learn game with clear rules and satisfying visual feedback. The chocolate theme adds charm without complicating gameplay, making Chokko4 approachable for all ages.

What we learned

We learnt to build Chokko4 using Turn Base component

What's next for Chokko4

We want to add features like animated disc drops, sound effects, optional AI opponents, and online matchmaking or leaderboards to expand replayability and competitive fun.
