Geek@Home and the hierarchy of needs
(iPhone4 tested)

Meet Geek's geekie needs by matching objects!

YAH! This game follows something like the Hierarchy of needs (Abraham Maslow,  1943 paper A Theory of Human Motivation).

But don't stop right here now - it's very easy to understand! ;-)

(check little clip about on my website horiworld.com)

Hero of this game is the "Geek" at home.
He's an awesome GEEK, a kind of intellectual, who likes just being home with peace and love - and playing with his gadgets. His life consists of fulfilling needs too; like ours - but they MAY differ!


***PUZZLE***
Try to match his needs with objects flowing on the conveyor belt.
Pick them up and drag them to the corresponding object  (drop-container).
Find out, which object  matches to another (documentation and the clips helps you).


***SHAKE TO LEARN***
On game main menu, shake the iPhone and objects will change randomized. Touch-down on objects and you get a quickhelp about.


***SCORING***
As time goes by, LIFEPOWER decreases.
This, I adapted from real life.
Whenever successful drag to match has been done, the life power increases a bit again, so you can slow down.
It also increases the score counter.
There are 9 levels in each mission. Each level provides more unlocked container objects (representing needs), also the game speed and number of objects increases.
After 9th level, the next mission comes unlocked.


***MISSIONS***
There are 3 missions in the game:
-the living room
-the kitchen
-the GeekLab


***GAME OVER***
Game has been over - here's another adaptation from real life is pointed out - when NO LIFEPOWER remains.
So hurry on! Go for meet the needs of the GEEK@HOME.
