XappY Classic

The year was 1997, the scene an A-level maths class. In the depths of intense boredom step forward a young lad called Chris, who with the most basic of tools he created Zap. And when I say basic I mean a sharpe graphic calculator (with literally a 10K of memory or something). With these limitations he was able to create Zap, an incredibly addictive game (and yes very basic). Many an hour of precious physics revision was lost to this little game due to a perfect difficulty curve and the challenge of beating your friends.

Fast forward 17 years and inspired by Zap XappY was created, pronounced Zappy or X-app-Y (I don't really mind),

To play is easy, you start with a blank graph which is 100 by 100. A randomly generated box appears and you have to guess a coordinate inside the box by plotting a X and Y value. Easy right, well at first yes but the box progressively gets smaller and smaller.


Before playing and rating please bear in mind the following:

-This is a game based on a classic game from 17 years ago, the graphics are retro and meant to be basic (it has nothing to do with my terrible programming skills and total lack of imagination)

-It is not grand theft auto, please dont compare otherwise it will just look plain bad

-The game is built with Appery.io, a fantastic app design kit that i would recommend novice designers like me to use.

-Although it works on tablets XappY isn't optimised for them, with graphics stretched and not scaled correctly.

-When you first play it might not grip you, give it a couple of goes.

-Any bugs or ideas to improve please comment below and I will get on it.

-I have no marketing budget so please share if you enjoy playing. Follow us on faceboom at:
