Fox, Chicken, Grain - Riddle in 3D

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/24674162/FoxChickenGrain.html

I fell in love with the Fox, Chicken, Grain riddle. You may have heard of other variations.
I decided it would be awesome to experience it in a 3D environment. Thus, I have spent many hours (7 so far) putting this together. I’ve had excellent feed back from the /r/unity3d community on Reddit.
If you have any feedback on how I can improve the overall gameplay, I’d be happy to hear it!

Enjoy!

First of all,… I FINISHED IT! YAY! :smile:
But yeah,… now I know it… and don’t have to replay it… so, it’s short…
BUT!
Maybe you can make a complete game by creating a bunch of different (well know or less well known) brain teasers?
I used to do this puzzle with pen and paper… turning it into a nicely looking 3D environment is a fun idea, so if you can do it with more puzzles you could have a solid game.
You probable know this but my suggestions are:

  • Introduction to the puzzle (I knew the goal, but you could make some kind of explaining pop-up)
  • Maybe some timer with highscore? see who solved the puzzle fastest?
  • More puzzles (already mentioned it)

I hope this is useful! Good work anyway!

You’re right, it is very short after you know the answer. I think that is how most riddles are, once you’ve seen it, you can’t unsee it.
I had the thought to do more riddles in this fashion, I’m compiling a list of riddles to see what I can do. Some riddles are purely text based and would probably be awkward in a 3d environment. So if you have any riddles that you think might work well, please let me know.
Yes, next I’ll be working on the intro(menu) stuff and an ending replay button or something of the sort.

Thanks for the feedback, I’m glad you enjoyed it!

LOL

Good effort, I knew how to do this but had a go anyway.

Some good techniques used and was worth doing.

Would you mind pointing out some specific things?

The entering and exiting the boat.
The picking and dropping of objects.
Then ambient sounds.

They all added up to decent gameplay.
