CubeToy - Prototype - Android

✨ Overview

Cube Toy is a hyper-casual toy prototype — entirely designed and built by Nicolas Flan.

The idea is simple: one cube, four playful interactions, and a focus on feel over pressure. Tap, swipe, pinch, and shake to discover small toys that are meant to relax, not stress you out.

Built as part of a technical test, this prototype showcases rapid prototyping skills and the ability to turn a single object — *a cube* — into multiple interactive ideas.

🎯 Core Features

• Toy-first design — no timers, no levels, no game over screen for most interactions
• Four mini-toys on one cube
• Jump — tap the cube and keep it bouncing
• Catapult — drag down, aim, and launch at a wall (optional target hit)
• Dice — shake your phone to roll; watch the result settle
• Spring — pinch or spread two fingers to squash and stretch the cube
• Juicy feedback everywhere — camera shake, sound, haptics (mobile), cube scaling, particles, and trails
• Shared feel system — each toy triggers impact feedback tuned to its moment

🎮Controls

This prototype was build smoothly around the question: "What to do with a cube?"

Everything starts from the cube while it is idle.

• Tap the cube: launch Jump toy.
• Swipe down (press + drag down): launch Catapult toy.
  
• Swipe up or Shake the phone: launch a Dice.
• Two-finger pinch / spread: launch Spring toy.

Every toy has its own juice — press sounds, launch trails, wall-break particles, bounce vibrations, and more.

🛠️ Technical Details

• Built in Unity 6 (URP)
• New Input System with enhanced touch support
• Mobile-first, portrait orientation

📌 Purpose

This project was created as part of a game development test to explore:

• Rapid prototyping (under 2 days)
• Creative interaction design — relaxing, low-frustration toys instead of hardcore gameplay loops
