Joker Hat Shuffle

Joker Hat Shuffle - a memory game about following one card under three top hats on a circus stage. Every round begins with a joker card that appears above the stage and then slides under one of the hats, after which the hats start changing places in pairs, one swap at a time. When the movement stops the player taps the hat that still holds the card, and the chosen hat lifts so the answer is visible right away. A correct pick adds points to the score, one hundred on the first level and fifty more on every level after it, and opens the next level, where the hats swap more times and move quicker. A wrong pick ends the run, lifts the correct hat to show where the card was hiding, and returns the score and the level counter to their starting values. The panel above the stage keeps the current score, the level number and the pace of the shuffle visible during the whole round. The screen shown after every round repeats those numbers and offers two plates, one to continue to the next level and one to step back to the menu; after a wrong pick it shows the top result reached so far in place of the pace. That top result is saved on the device and stays available between sessions, and it is also shown on the how to play screen together with a short summary of the rules. The menu gives access to the game, to the how to play screen and to exit, while the opening screen holds the title picture for a moment before the menu appears. The game runs full screen in portrait orientation, is played entirely with single taps on the hats and the menu plates, and works without sound.
