Additionally, player needs to solve and place the alien creatures in their proper homes. A quest board is supplied to keep track of the players progress.

** Motivation** My motivation was to build a better world, and I was driven by my own creativity. This time around, I was determined to have the best team ever, and my team was exceptional. My team helped me to learn new design techniques, new language, new editors, new scripting and Meta Horizon verbiage.

additionally, I considered player motivation. I wanted the player to be engaged in the game within the first 20 seconds and implemented a mobile friendly parkour to grab cute aliens. the player is motivated to accomplish these tasks successfully by completing the fun spinning parkour, make their happy wish, dive into planet teleportation to see a new and exciting world full of adventurous mazes and colorful land to complete this puzzle portion of the world.

Additionally, The player is motivated by sound, and shooting stars, and the northern lights and a finale of shooting stars and a congratulations. Additionally, the player is motivated to complete filling the quest board. Just in case, arrow hints help the player.

Challenges we ran into

Originally, we were focused on creating a look alike of HIGHLIGHTS and finding objects in pictures with increasingly difficult puzzles The challenge and eventual throw away of this idea was the constraints in the mobile environment. As beginners, we could not touch the differences, difficulty in shooting the differences, so another route had to be taken. We chose simple, moderate, and complex mazes and landscapes where aliens ( little sweet creatures ) are waiting to be released into their new environment with suitable homes where they love to eat willow trees.

** Accomplishments**

our accomplishments include and we are proud of: Installing beautifully textured spinning planets Including the original wishing wells Using typescript and the desktop editor, and blender Using genai capabilities for scripting and assets Creating an imaginative story line Creating an amazing alien world for these creatures including homes and environments
Lastly, we elevated the world by creating an additional puzzle game for the players none of these existed in the original wishing WELL world.
