This is the second installment of our new series of case studies<\/a> on what it’s really like to design and develop Apple Watch apps.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Idea<\/h2>\n

Growing up, I remember my favorite hand-held game was Simon<\/a>. It’s amazing\u00a0the endless hours\u00a0of fun and frustration that were provided by\u00a0such a classic and simple game.<\/p>\n

When Apple announced the\u00a0Apple Watch<\/a>, we knew instantly that we had to create a similar version of Simon purely\u00a0from the standpoint that it fits into the Watch\u2019s form factor<\/a> and can be played within a few minutes.<\/p>\n

The result is\u00a0Clover Clover<\/a>, our new game designed specifically for Apple Watch.<\/p>\n

How It Works<\/h2>\n

Clover Clover is a simple memory game of observing a sequence and repeating it back. The game gets progressively harder and faster as the number of sequences\u00a0increases.<\/p>\n

There are four game modes:<\/p>\n

1) Classic Mode<\/h3>\n

Repeat the sequence in the same order. Challenge Level: Easy<\/p>\n

2) Monochrome Mode<\/h3>\n

Repeat the sequence in the same order but all clover leaves are the same\u00a0color. Challenge Level: Medium<\/p>\n

3) Reverse Mode<\/h3>\n

Repeat the sequence in the reverse order. Challenge Level: Hard<\/p>\n

4) Opposite Mode<\/h3>\n

Repeat the sequence in the same order but on the opposite sides. For example, if red, then\u00a0yellow and so forth. Challenge Level: Expert<\/p>\n
