Here is a full description of the game's features and mechanics: 🌟 Game Overview GoPa Charade challenges players to act out or describe words while a "guesser" tries to identify as many as possible before the timer runs out. With persistent player registries and customizable categories, it is built for both quick solo fun and organized group sessions. 🎮 Main Game Modes 1.⚡ Quick Play: ◦ Designed for immediate action. ◦ The app automatically selects a random category and assigns a "Guest" player. ◦ Bypasses all setup screens to jump straight into the countdown. 2.👥 Group Play: ◦ Perfect for parties. ◦ Allows you to select a specific group of players from your registry. ◦ Lets you choose exactly which category to play. ◦ Includes a "Whose turn is it?" prompt to keep track of individual scores within the group. 🕹️ How to Play • The Countdown: Every round begins with a 3-second audio and visual countdown ("Get Ready! 3... 2... 1...") to give the actor time to prepare. • The Gestures: No buttons are needed during gameplay. ◦ Swipe Right: Mark a word as Correct. The screen flashes Green, a success sound plays, and your score increases. ◦ Swipe Left: Skip a difficult word. The screen flashes Red, and a skip sound plays. • The Timer: Keep an eye on the top-right corner. When the timer hits 20 seconds, a countdown audio track triggers to increase the tension. • Exit Anytime: An "EXIT" button is available at the bottom if you need to stop the round early. 🏆 Scoring & Leaderboards • At the end of each round, the game transitions to a Game Over screen. • It displays the player's final score alongside the Top 10 High Scores leaderboard. • The leaderboard is persistent, meaning the best scores are saved even if you close the app. 🛠️ Content & Player Management • Custom Categories: Users can create their own categories and add lists of words (separated by commas) to tailor the game to their interests. • Player Registry: ◦ Add players manually (supports batch adding like "John, Mary, Alex"). ◦ The registry is stored in a local database, so you only have to add your friends once. ◦ Manage the list by removing specific players or clearing the entire registry. • Duration Settings: Choose between 30, 60, 90, 120, or 180 seconds per round. 📱 Premium Visuals & Audio • Animated Splash Screen: A professional entrance featuring a sliding logo and text reveal. • Readability: Uses extra-large, bold "Sans-Serif-Black" fonts and "Serif" word displays to ensure the screen is readable from a distance. • Personalization: If a player is selected from the device, their contact photo is displayed prominently during their turn. • Sound Effects: High-quality MP3 feedback for Correct, Skip, and Countdown events. • Orientation Support: The game is optimized to handle phone rotation without crashing or resetting the current round. 📂 Built-in Categories (Default) The game comes pre-loaded with diverse topics: • KL Fun: Localized fun phrases. • Daily Laughter: Humorous everyday situations. • Enjoy the Moment: Relaxing and positive phrases. • Best Fries Forever: Pop culture and friendship. • 马年 (Year of the Horse): Traditional Chinese idioms and horse-themed phrases. • 四字母 (Four Characters): Common Chinese four-character idioms (Chengyu).
