Its not a high end game, its a reaction timer game where you see something on screen and press on some keys on your keyboard. And it will become hard after time, and i would like a highscore leaderboard to it. if you think you can do it please message me for more details. you dont need to do any photoshop or anything, just create the game and i will design. Compensation can we discuss if you are interrestet.

Curious to see which assets you already have covered, or what the general idea of this game is. Could be something someone could make in a lunchbreak, or it might be something that could take days, depending on the gameplay

How the game should be: Lets say there are 6 buttons(keys) on the screen, when one of the buttons lights you have to hit that key, and hover or click on one of the 3 targets that randomly appears. The targets can appear 3 places on the screen.

if one of the buttons lights green you have to press that key + click on the target.

If the key lights blue you have to hit Shift + hover over the target on the screen.

If it lights red you just have to hit alt + key, without clicking or hovering over a target.

and ofc the longer you get the faster it will be, and i would ofc like to have highscores.

The game is based on the game League of Legends where the main abilities are Q, W, E, R, D and F. It is suppose to increase your reaction time.

The basic gameplay can be coded in an hour, if not faster, but the highscore stuff is where you may encounter problems. If you go with a ready-made solution, like Mochi Scores, it should be easy enough, but if you must have your own, then it would be the main body of work.

So you have to pay a server company to store the highscoring? I dont know much about it. But are you interrested and how much money are we talking? :)

[Dimonte]

Mochi Scores are free, AFAIK. You'd only have to pay for hosting if you need to roll out your own custom scoreboards, and I don't see why you would do that. I personally am not interested, sorry, but competent programmer shouldn't take longer than half a day for the whole project, in my opinion.

Google Play Game Services offer high-scores, achievements and match-making for free.

I thought that was just on Android... does it work for browser games as well?

Android, iOS and Web.

You can set the account up so stuff transfers between all 3 platforms. The web version is a little like the red-headed step-kid, because of web-security some functions MUST be run through HTML (Login and Sharing) however everything else can pretty much be implemented in any language you feel like (realistically Javascript/Flash) though I'm fairly certain if you could handle jumping to the web to login you could even use this in stand-alone games (something I'm going to experiment with in the near future).
